Can I use any of the Processor as a GPU ?
I want to use any of Blackfin, Sharc or Tiger Sharc processor to be used as a graphic accelerator. Our main processor is NXP's PowerPC. A user interface is created on it and I want any of the processor for generating a video from the data coming from the processor to drive my display. Is this possible with any of these ?
Your help in this regard is highly appreciated.
