Abstract: The disclosure is related to optimizing generation of intermediate representation (IR) for a script code by eliminating redundant reference count code from the IR. The reference count code includes code that manages a reference count of an object, e.g., code that increments a reference count of the object (“incref code”) and an observer code which consumes or the execution of which depends on the reference count of the object. The IR is analyzed to identify redundant reference count code. Counters associated with the object are evaluated and upon satisfying the optimization criterion, the incref code is moved closer to the observer code. The incref code and the observer code that are adjacent to each other are identified as redundant code pair and the code pair is eliminated from the IR to generate an optimized IR. The optimized IR is further converted to an executable code.

Abstract: A method carried out by a graphics processing apparatus samples a texture value of a first texture layer at an offset to a second texture layer of a surface and adjusts pixel color for a pixel of the second texture layer using the texture value such that an appearance of depth is created between the first texture layer and the second texture layer. The method may adjust the pixel color using the sampled texture value alpha component. Another method includes transforming a surface normal vector to eye space for a surface having at least first and second texture layers mapped thereto, determining an offset between the first texture layer and the second texture layer using the transformed surface normal vector, sampling a texture value of the first texture layer using the offset, and adjusting pixel color for a pixel of the second texture layer using the texture value.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to systems and methods for temperature-based device operation. In one example, a device may include a first memory and a temperature detection module adapted to measure a temperature of the device and modify a data storage behavior of the first memory based on the temperature. The device may further comprise a second memory, and the temperature detection module may direct that data be written to the first memory less frequently, and be written to the second memory more frequently when a threshold temperature is exceeded. The temperature detection module may also implement operating limitations for the device when a threshold temperature is exceeded, such as restricting execution of background diagnostics or implementing other operating limitations. In some embodiments, other environmental factors such as humidity, altitude, air pressure, physical shock, or other factors may be monitored and the device operation may be modified based on those factors.
