Introduction
The R700-family of processors implements a parallel microarchitecture that
provides an excellent platform not only for computer graphics applications but
also for general-purpose streaming applications. Any data-intensive application
that can be mapped to a 2D matrix is a candidate for running on an R700-family
processor.
Figure 1.1 shows a block diagram of the R700-family processors.

It includes a data-parallel processor (DPP) array, a command processor, a
memory controller, and other logic (not shown). The R700 command processor
reads commands that the host has written to memory-mapped R700 registers in
the system-memory address space. The command processor sends hardware-
generated interrupts to the host when the command is completed. The R700
memory controller has direct access to all of R700 local memory and the host-
specified areas of system memory. To satisfy read and write requests, the
memory controller performs the functions of a direct-memory access (DMA)
