Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for reducing flicker in image frames captured with a rolling shutter. A flicker detection and correction engine selects a first channel from a first image frame for processing. The flicker detection and correction engine subtracts each pixel value in the first channel from a corresponding pixel value in a prior image frame to generate a difference image frame. The flicker detection and correction engine identifies a first alternating current (AC) component based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT) associated with the difference image frame. The flicker detection and correction engine reduces flicker that is present in the first image frame based on the first AC component. One advantage of the disclosed techniques is that the flicker resulting from fluctuating light sources is correctly detected and reduced or eliminated irrespective of the frequency of the fluctuating light source.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a streaming multiprocessor (SM) uses a tree of nodes to manage threads. Each node specifies a set of active threads and a program counter. Upon encountering a conditional instruction that causes an execution path to diverge, the SM creates child nodes corresponding to each of the divergent execution paths. Based on the conditional instruction, the SM assigns each active thread included in the parent node to at most one child node, and the SM temporarily discontinues executing instructions specified by the parent node. Instead, the SM concurrently executes instructions specified by the child nodes. After all the divergent paths reconverge to the parent path, the SM resumes executing instructions specified by the parent node. Advantageously, the disclosed techniques enable the SM to execute divergent paths in parallel, thereby reducing undesirable program behavior associated with conventional techniques that serialize divergent paths across thread groups.
