Abstract: Provided is a preparation method of a detector material. The present disclosure epitaxially grows a buffer layer on a surface of a gallium arsenide substrate, deposits a silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer, and etches the silicon dioxide layer on the buffer layer according to a strip pattern by photolithography and etching to form strip growth regions with continuous changes in width. Finally, a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technology is used to epitaxially grow the detector material in the strip growth regions under set epitaxy growth conditions. Because of the same mobility of atoms arriving at the surface of the substrate, numbers of atoms migrating to the strip growth regions are different due to different widths of the strip growth regions, such that compositions of the material change with the widths of the strip growth regions or a layer thickness changes with the widths of the strip growth regions.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing graphics pipeline optimizations are disclosed. A user interface (UI) is generated to allow a user to analyze shaders and determine resource utilization on any of multiple different target graphic devices. The UI allows the user to manipulate the state associated with the target graphics device for a given graphics pipeline. After being edited by the user, the state of the graphics pipeline is converted into a textual representation and input into a meta-app. The meta-app creates an application programming interface (API) construct from the shader source code and textual representation of the state which is compiled by a driver component into machine-level instructions. Also, resource usage statistics are generated for a simulated run of the graphics pipeline on the target graphics device. Then, the machine-level instructions and resource usage statistics are displayed in the UI for the user to analyze.
