Abstract: Various embodiments include methods utilizing a touch-sensitive user interface of a computing device. Various embodiments may include identifying a characteristic of a first touch event (e.g., a number of contacting fingers) triggering a function that stores or selects a data object in memory, mapping a selected data object to an index value associated with the identified number of fingers, detecting a second user input touch event triggering a second function (e.g., an editing function) that uses a stored data object, determining whether the characteristic of the second touch event, such as a number of contacting fingers, matches an index value mapped to a previously stored data object, and performing the triggered editing action using the data object mapped to the index value in response to determining that the characteristic (e.g., number of contacting fingers) of the second touch event matches an index value mapped to a previously stored data object.

Abstract: Techniques are described in which a processor determines an expected performance level of a graphics processing unit (GPU) based on an amount of commands the GPU is to execute. The processor outputs information indicating the performance level, and the GPU adjusts its clock rate prior to execution of the commands that were used to determine the performance level.
