Abstract From the Canadian patent

As the speed and capacity of graphics workstations and personal computers including graphics adapters increases the demand for high resolution intelligent display adapters also increases. Large graphic applications formerly, limited to large main frame computers with dedicated graphics display terminals may use this increased capability in the workstations to migrate applications to stand alone systems. The present invention relates to a graphics display adapter which can be used either in such a high capacity stand alone graphics workstation or in conjunction with a large main frame host computer.
