1-7.1 Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.)
A.G.P. is a high-performance bus for graphics-intensive applications, such
as 3D applications. A.G.P., while based on the PCI Local Bus
Specifications, Rev 2.1, is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for
exclusive use with graphical display devices. A.G.P. overcomes certain
limitations of the PCI bus related to handling a large amount of graphics
data with the following features:
l
Pipelined memory read and write operations that hide memory access
latency
l
Demultiplexing of address and data on the bus for near 100 percent
bus efficiency
l
AC timing for 133 MHz data transfer rates, allowing real data
throughput in excess of 500 MB/sec
