  • Publication number: 20250103323
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for a compiled shader program caches in a cloud computing environment. A set of compiled shader programs associated with an instance of an application hosted by an application hosting platform is received. The set of compiled shader programs are included in an shader cache associated with the application, the shader cache hosted by the application hosting platform. A detection is made that a shader program is referenced during a runtime of the instance of the application. Responsive to a determination that a compiled version of the referenced shader program is not included in the received set of compiled shader programs, the shader program is compiled to generate the compiled version of the shader program. A request is transmitted to the application hosting platform to modify the shader cache in view of the compiled version of the shader program.

  • Patent number: 12254554
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems, and techniques of offloading shader program compilation at a computing system. A detection is made that a set of shader programs are to be compiled for an application executing at a computing system using a first set of processing devices. A second set of processing devices to compile the set of shader programs is identified. Each of the second set of processing devices is different from any processing device of the first set of processing devices. The set of shader programs is provided for compilation using the second set of processing devices in view of state data associated with the computing system to obtain a set of complied shader programs. The set of compiled shader programs is executed using the first set of processing devices.

  • Patent number: 10935788
    Abstract: A method for stereoscopically presenting visual content is disclosed. The method comprises identifying and distinguishing between a first type of content and a second type of content of a frame to be stereoscopically displayed. The method also comprises rendering the first type of content in a first left and a first right frame from a single perspective using a first stereoscopic rendering method. Further, the method comprises rendering the second type of content in a second left and a second right frame using a second, different stereoscopic method from two different perspectives. Additionally, the method comprises merging the first and second left frames and the first and second right frames to produce a resultant left frame and a resultant right frame. Finally, the method comprises displaying the resultant left frame and the resultant right frame for stereoscopic perception by a viewer.

  • Publication number: 20170319840
    Abstract: Described embodiments include a system, method, and apparatus. A system includes an extracellular-fluid collection device configured to be positioned at a location on a skin of a mammal. In an embodiment, the mammal includes a live human. The system includes an ultrasonic wave transmitter configured to emit ultrasonic shear waves directable at the location. The ultrasonic shear waves have a frequency or amplitude selected to increase a permeability of the skin of the mammal to an extracellular-fluid. In an embodiment, the system includes a sensor configured to determine a rate or amount of extracellular-fluid collected by the extracellular-fluid collection device. In an embodiment, the system includes a fluid collection controller configured to regulate a parameter of ultrasonic shear waves transmitted by the ultrasonic wave transmitter in response to a determined rate or amount of fluid collected by the extracellular-fluid collection device.

  • Patent number: 9241146
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating stereoscopic images. The techniques include receiving a first image frame associated with a first eye, and receiving a first depth frame associated with the first eye. The techniques further include reprojecting the first image frame based on the first depth frame to create a second image frame associated with a second eye. The techniques further include identifying a first pixel in the second image frame that remains unwritten as a result of reprojecting the first image frame, and determining a value for the first pixel based on a corresponding pixel in a prior image frame associated with the second eye. One advantage of the disclosed techniques is that DIBR reprojected image frames have a more realistic appearance where gaps are filled using pixels from a prior image for the same eye.
