Abstract: The present disclosure describes a type of virtual machine, which the present disclosure may refer to as a harvest virtual machine, that may allow improved utilization of physical computing resources on a cloud-computing system. First, the harvest virtual machine may be evictable. In other words, higher priority virtual machines may preempt the harvest virtual machine's access to physical computing resources. Second, the harvest virtual machine may receive access to a dynamic amount of physical computing resources during the course of its operating life. Third, the harvest virtual machine may have a minimum size (in terms of an amount of physical computing resources) and may terminate whenever the harvest virtual machine has access to an amount of physical computing resources less than the minimum size.

Abstract: Low-latency gesture detection is described, for example, to compute a gesture class from a live stream of image frames of a user making a gesture, for example, as part of a natural user interface controlling a game system or other system. In examples, machine learning components are trained to learn gesture primitives and at test time, are able to detect gestures using the learned primitives, in a fast, accurate manner. For example, a gesture primitive is a latent (unobserved) variable features of a subset of frames from a sequence of frames depicting a gesture. For example, the subset of frames has many fewer frames than a sequence of frames depicting a complete gesture. In various examples gesture primitives are learnt from instance level features computed by aggregating frame level features to capture temporal structure. In examples frame level features comprise body position and body part articulation state features.

Abstract: Resource processing during run time can be performed asynchronously from emulation of an application by a central processing unit. For example, an emulator can include a main processing thread that performs emulation processes. In response to encountering a shader, or other resource, to be processed, the emulator can invoke a separate asynchronous thread to perform such processing. Processed resources, such as translated shaders and generated textures, can be stored in a cache. In response to a command that uses a resource, such as a draw command that invokes a shader or other resource, the emulator can use the processed resource in the cache. If the processed resource is not in the cache, the emulator can skip processing the command that uses the resource. If processed resources can be obtained from other sources and loaded in the cache, processing of resources by the emulator can be eliminated.

Abstract: A method for obtaining gestural input from a user of a computer system. In this method, an image of the user is acquired, and a runtime representation of a geometric model of the user is computed based on the image. The runtime representation is compared against stored data, which includes a plurality of stored metrics each corresponding to a measurement made on an actor performing a gesture. With each stored metric is associated a stored representation of a geometric model of the actor performing the associated gesture. The method returns gestural input based on the stored metric associated with a stored representation that matches the runtime representation.

Abstract: Emulating legacy hardware using IEEE 754 compliant hardware is disclosed herein. In some aspects, the emulation includes locating an instruction that includes NaN (not a number) as at least one of an operand or a resultant. The emulation adjusts the resultant of the instruction, via additional code, to produce a final resultant of non-compliant (legacy) hardware. Legacy software, which was written in anticipation of processing by legacy hardware, may then be processed using compliant hardware.
