Abstract: A computer-based system and method for detecting suspicious activation of an application in a computer device, including: monitoring physical activation events by the computer device; identifying a software activation event in the computer device; determining whether a physical activation event corresponding to the software activation event has been detected; and determining that the software activation event is legitimate if the corresponding physical activation event has been detected at the computer device and determining that the software activation event is suspicious otherwise.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for performing memory management in a graphics processing unit are presented. Hints about the memory usage of an application are provided to a page manager. At least one runtime memory usage pattern of the application is sent to the page manager. Data is swapped into and out of a memory by analyzing the hints and the at least one runtime memory usage pattern.

Abstract: A multimedia communication system includes a host computer having an external bus and a unit external to the host computer. The unit is connected to the host computer via the external bus. The unit is configured to capture a video stream from a video input device, to convert the captured video stream according to a predetermined standard for transmitting video over a network, and to send the converted video stream to the host computer via the external bus. The system also includes a software video decoder installed on the host computer.
