PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an avionics display system for displaying a scene in an aircraft cockpit.SOLUTION: The scene may be a complex instrument display comprising thousands of graphics primitives. The avionics display system comprises a central processing unit CPU 10, a graphics processing unit GPU 54 operably coupled to the CPU, and a display 90. The GPU comprises a vertex shader, and the CPU is configured to provide vertex data representing a graphics primitive to the vertex shader and to call the vertex shader to render the graphics primitive, representing at least a part of the scene, into a frame buffer 56. The display is operably coupled to the frame buffer and displays the scene. The system architecture of the avionics display system simplifies a coding process for a developer and also speeds up image processing in comparison to conventional systems.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
