Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for reducing GPU load by programmatically controlling shading rates in computer graphics. GPU load may be reduced by applying different shading rates to different screen regions. By reading the depth buffer of previous frames and performing image processing, thresholds may be calculated that control the shading rates. The approach may be run on any platform that supports VRS hardware and primitive- or image-based VRS. The approach may be applied on a graphics driver installed on a client device, in a firmware layer between hardware and a driver, in a software layer between a driver and an application, or in hardware on the client device. The approach is flexible and adaptable and calculates and sets the variable rate shading based on the graphics generated by an application without requiring the application developer to manually set variable rate shading.

Abstract: A system and method of mode selection face recognition with parallel CNNs are disclosed. The system includes a mode selection module, a parallel convolutional neural network module, a database module and an ID judgment module. The parallel convolutional neural network module includes several convolutional neural network units. The mode selection module can determine the facial characteristics of each facial image, and send each facial image to the convolutional nerve corresponding to its facial characteristics The results serve as a benchmark for the ID judgment module to compare and test other facial images. By using several convolutional neural network units for facial image training for different facial characteristics of the same person, the noise from other convolutional neural network units can be reduced and the similarity in the feature vector extraction stage can be improved. The resulting accuracy of face recognition will increase.
