Abstract
A data queue optimized for receiving loosely packed graphics data and suitable for use in a computer graphics system is described. The data queue operates on first-in-first-out principals, and has a variable width input and output. The variable width on the input side facilitates the reception and storage of loosely packed data. The variable width output allows for the single-cycle output of multi-word data. Packing of the data occurs on the write-side of the FIFO structure.
