A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN EMULATION TIME AND REAL TIME

摘要

An emulation system emulates operation of a graphics processor (55) in a target computer system that is executing a computer program. The graphics processor executes graphics commands to generatea sequence of frames that are to be displayed. The emulation method is performed by an emulation module (102) that is executed by a general purpose computer (104). The emulation module receives a sequence of graphics commands and stores in a command cache (156-1 and 156-2).
