Abstract: Dynamic spread anti-aliasing is described. In some embodiments, a filled object is segmented into control tiles. Along the object border, multiple exterior control tiles respectively correspond to multiple curves forming the border. For each curve, one side is filled and the other is anti-aliased to smooth the appearance of the filled object. Each exterior control tile is expanded to create an expanded control tile having a spread zone that includes additional pixels. For example, a control triangle is transformed into a control rectangle, and the control rectangle is enlarged to create an expanded control rectangle by extending an edge outward and away from the curve on the side to be anti-aliased. The additional pixels of the spread zone are subjected to anti-aliasing, such as by applying alpha modulation to the pixels based on respective distances between the pixels and the curve. For subpixel zoom levels, pixel color can be adjusted.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for supporting multicast for virtual networks. In some embodiments, a native multicast approach can utilized in which packet replication is performed on a host node of a virtual machine (VM) with a multicast data packet encapsulated in uniquely address unicast packets. In some embodiments, a network virtual appliance can be utilized. A multicast packet sent from the VM can be unicasted to the network virtual appliance. The multicast appliance can then replicate the packet into multiple copies and send the packets to the receivers in the virtual network as unicast data packets encapsulating the multicast packet.

Abstract: Curve antialiasing based on curve-pixel intersection is leveraged in a digital medium environment. For instance, to apply antialiasing according to techniques described herein, curves of a visual object are mapped from an original pixel space to a virtual pixel space. Virtual pixels of the virtual pixel space that are intersected by the mapped curves are identified and aggregated as intersected virtual pixels. The intersected virtual pixels are then mapped back into the original pixel space to identify which intersected virtual pixels positionally coincide with respective original pixels of the original pixel space. Intersected virtual pixels are mapped to original pixels to generate pixel coverage for original pixels. The generated pixel coverage values for original pixels are applied to render antialiased curves as part of an antialiased version of the original visual object.

Abstract: The disclosed system implements techniques to enable a tenant of a cloud-based platform to effectively and efficiently apply a policy that copies data packets communicated to or from a virtual machine in the tenant's own virtual network. When applied, the policy mirrors data traffic associated with a workload executing on a virtual machine in the tenant's virtual network. To mirror the data traffic, a copy of a data packet is streamed to another virtual machine so that network analytics can be performed (e.g., performance analytics, security analytics, etc.). In various examples, the policy can be a role-based mirroring policy that defines a plurality of roles in association with a role-based access model that scales operations and that provides improved security for a tenant's virtual network.

Furthermore, the disclosed system renders the two-dimensional vector graphic by passing the rendering data stored in the compressed multi-vertex buffer to the graphics processing unit in a manner that the graphics processing unit is able to process.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for managing network flow state for ongoing flows (connectionless protocol flows and connection-based protocol flows) between client device(s) and a virtual machine using a flow collection data structure (e.g. hash table) having a predefined maximum quantity of ongoing flows that can be managed. When it is determined that the flow collection data structure is managing greater than an acceptable threshold of connectionless protocol flows, at a dynamically adjustable frequency, flow state for more connectionless protocol flow(s) having an unexpired time-to-live are expired. The frequency can be adjusted based upon a rate at which new flows are being created and/or a rate at which flows are being deleted. Also described herein is a system and method in which, at a particular frequency, only a portion of the flows in the flow collection data structure are evaluated in order to minimize impact on packet processing.
