Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for accelerating graphic data which can reduce the computational complexity of graphic processing data. The method of accelerating two-dimensional graphic data includes: receiving information regarding the width of a graphic window to be processed; reading pixel data from a memory in which pixel data in the graphic window is stored; receiving information regarding two pixel data regions which are divided from the memory area based on the width information of the graphic window, one pixel data region to be processed using a burst mode and the other pixel data region to be processed in units of bytes; and individually performing predetermined graphic processing on the divided pixel data regions.

Abstract: A decoding method for reducing a delay time which makes a decoder perform continuously by controlling a relief width according to the characteristic of an input image is provided. The decoding method includes the steps of: (a) sequentially storing an input image signal in a buffer which predetermines a relief width; (b) performing decoding if the amount of the stored image signal is larger than the predetermined relief width of the buffer; and (c) resetting the relief width of the buffer by combining the prescribed decoded information. The relief width of the decoding input buffer is controlled according to the characteristics of the input image to make the decoder perform continuously and reduce a delay time, so that it has an effect of cleaning up the discomfort which a user may feel in watching an image signal.
