Abstract: A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a memory switching data processing system is provided. The memory switching data processing system includes one or more central processing units (‘CPUs’); random access memory organized in at least two banks of memory modules; one or more memory buses providing communications paths for data among the CPUs and the memory modules; and a flexibly configurable memory bus switch comprising a first configuration adapting the first CPU to a first bank of memory modules and a second CPU to a second bank of memory modules and a second configuration adapting the first CPU to both the first bank of memory modules and the second bank of memory modules.

Abstract: In one embodiment, methods and architectures are provided that heuristically analyze an incoming vector path data stream over multiple DDI calls, and merge the path data strips into a single gradient element. This single gradient element can then be processed, as by being serialized into XAML, so that it can be somewhat more efficiently consumed by a consuming device. Merging of the vector path data can eliminate or at least reduce noticeable seams, conserve parsing time and reduce memory consumption.

Abstract: In one embodiment, image data that corresponds to a single image, received through multiple DDI calls, is analyzed and merged or otherwise combined into a single image element. This single image element can then be processed, as by being serialized into XAML, so that it can be somewhat more efficiently consumed by a consuming device. Merging of the image data can eliminate or at least reduce noticeable seams, conserve parsing time and reduce memory consumption.
