Abstract: Approaches for rendering video stream and audio corresponding to a media stream from amongst a plurality of media streams are described. In one example, a plurality of media streams comprising a video stream and an audio may be obtained at a media processing system, which may then be combined to generate a mosaiced media stream. The mosaiced media stream may then be encoded to obtain an encoded stream. Thereafter, the encoded stream may be caused to transmit to a receiver system. The receiver system, on receiving the encoded stream, may decode the encoded stream to obtain the mosaiced media stream. Thereafter, the mosaiced media stream may be deconstructed to retrieve each of the plurality of media streams. Thereafter, video stream and audio corresponding to one of the media streams may be caused to render on a video display system.

Abstract: A graphics pipeline cache reconstruction operation is implemented to reconstruct one or more graphics pipeline caches for a current client gaming session based on one or more pipeline structures. The pipeline structures each represent a graphical object rendered during a respective previous client gaming session and are used to reconstruct one or more graphics pipeline caches that include graphics pipeline cache objects related to the graphical objects of the pipeline structures. These graphics pipeline cache objects are used to initialize one or more graphics pipelines used to render the graphical objects in a gaming application for a current client gaming session.

Abstract: This application is directed to a method of managing processing capability of a server system having one or more processing cores that further include multiple processing slices. Upon receiving requests to initiate online gaming sessions, the server system allocates each processing slice of the processing cores to a subset of the online gaming sessions to be executed thereon. A first processing slice is allocated to a first subset of the online gaming sessions including a first gaming session and a second gaming session. At the first processing slice, a time-sharing processing schedule is determined for the first subset of the online gaming sessions. In accordance with the time-sharing processing schedule, the first and second gaming sessions share a duty cycle of the first processing slice, and are executed dynamically and in parallel according to real-time data processing need of the first and second gaming sessions.

Abstract: A system includes a video source device connected to a video destination device via a network. The video source device includes a network interface and an encoder coupled to the network interface. The encoder is configured to encode a first stream of rendered video frames having a first frame rate to generate a second stream of encoded video frames for transmission over the network via the network interface, wherein the second stream has a second frame rate greater than the first frame rate. As part of this encoding process, the encoder is configured to selectively encode multiple instances of at least one video frame of the first stream for inclusion in the second stream to compensate for the difference between the first frame rate and the second frame rate.
