What Makes Neon Tick?Command Interface

• High-level interface vertex interface:

  • supports triangle, quadrilateral, and line strips
  • vertex data is never replicated

• Multiple formats for vertex data, so software can trade CPU cycles for I/O bus cycles

• Deeply pipelined triangle setup logic

• Applications can map OpenGL calls directly to Neon commands, without the inefficiencies usually associated with such direct rendering.
