   Rapid transfer of screen


   It is known that the transfer of content on-screen memory (# 
1800 bytes) took more time

than the interval between two interrupts. Nevertheless, if
image should not change
every 1 / 50 seconds, and at least
every 1 / 25 seconds, there is a way
so do shipping, that while the beam draws the current frame - we
see the first picture, when the beam
draws the next frame - we see
already the second picture.

   Consider what the
this way. Let the memory
(# 4000 - # 5800) is the first
picture. After the arrival of the pulse
interrupts the beam begins to draw
image, starting from the top
edge of the screen, draws the border and in
eventually draws the most
upper row of the small screen.


                        \

          border



                          television

       small screen display



                        /


   It was then that we begin to throw out the second picture
buffer in video memory, in strict
the same manner as it is portrayed on the screen (ie, along the 
lines, from top to bottom). Since the beam forms an image faster

What we update the content of video memory, the display will 
shows the first image. 

   The transfer of images continues until the ray Tracings
the entire screen. Calculate how much
It will take time: full screen -
320 lines, the upper part of the border - 80 rows, and another 
line We especially missed. Because

while drawing a single line -
224 cycles, we get (320-81) * 224
= 53,536 cycles. During this time, of course, completely 
refresh the video memory does not work, but it's still is not 
necessary. 

   Once the beam Tracings entire screen, proceed as follows 
pulse interrupt, and starts draw in the next frame.

While the beam draws the upper part of
border and the upper part of small
screen (ie, already the second picture), we are not wasting any 
time, throws in a video memory the remainder of the second 
picture. The transfer must be completed before such time as the 
beam begins to draw the bottom line of the small screen, ie, 
transfer procedure shall be packed in 53,536 + (80 +

192-1) * 224 = 114240 cycles. And that is abundantly sufficient 
for even transferring pictures, along with the attributes (in 
this case, the procedure must be forwarded to the queue 8 lines 
of image and attributes for these 8 lines).


   This calculation for "Pentagona128. Corporate Spectrum 
differs from it by the following parameters: the upper part of 
the border is 64 rows instead of 80 and

on the screen 312 rows instead of 320.
Procedure to transfer work on it, it should take no more than 
(312-81) * 224 + (64 + 191) * 224 = 108864 cycles. But this

still lacking, even considering that the write / read memory 
ULA slow processor. But if the processor, by contrast, will run 
faster (Turbocharged Spectrum) transfer procedure may not give

the desired result. To make it
function properly in this case, you need to make it "fit into 
the break, and accomplishes their work before it begins

drawn the bottom line of small screen).


   And now - two programs that perform the same task:
every 1 / 25 second, they change
screen color from white to black and
vice versa. The first program uses LDIR, while the other works
on the algorithm considered above. Feel the difference!
