  • Publication number: 20150032690
    Abstract: A virtual synchronization methodology enables on-demand data delivery so that revisions are downloaded “just-in-time” to a client machine upon an observer's access of the files rather than downloading all the revisions upfront using the static and monolithic methodology in a conventional synchronization. When virtual synchronization is invoked, a preview of the changes in the file state that have occurred since the last synchronization is obtained and used to generate virtualized files with which the observer can interact and see the changes as if the files were actually synchronized. A virtualized file is then populated with actual data on-demand when accessed by the observer or by a system or process that is operating on the client machine.

  • Publication number: 20130107289
    Abstract: Techniques for determining how to perform a rasterization of printing data. A rasterization facility may receive from a printer driver a request to rasterize printing data in a page description language (PDL) format. The rasterization facility may select a processing unit on which to rasterize the printing data, which may include determining whether to invoke a GPU or a CPU to perform the rasterization. When the GPU is selected, the CPU and GPU may be operated concurrently to perform rasterization. For example, while the GPU is rasterizing a first portion of the printing data, the CPU may determine a next portion to be rasterized, such that the next portion may be made available to the GPU when the GPU is ready to rasterize another portion. The rasterization facility may also convert printing elements of the printing data to a target color space.
