Abstract
Bitmap instructions of the M32/100, a 32-bit microprocessor based on the TRON architecture specification, are designed for bitmap display control. This paper describes their performance evaluation of the bitmap instructions when applied to the Graphic Primitive, which is graphic application software used in the BTRON specification operating system. The bitmap instructions can paint rectangles with a pattern 1.5–2 times faster and move windows 2.7–3.3 times faster than move instructions looped by software on a color display with 8 bits per pixel.
