Abstract
The image generation stage in a computer graphics visual display device is the final section where the magic of beautiful pictures are created. It is where the user has the most interaction with the images and their generation. In the case of movies, it is passive but emotional. In the case of computers, it is interactive, such as playing a game. There are two types of image generation, content creation work and the consumption of the content. There is an unrelenting demand and need for high quality, fast response, and image generation in both cases.
