Abstract: One disclosed embodiment is directed to graphics processing method for displaying a user interface. The method includes executing a plurality of graphic processing operation in a single rendering pass. The rendering pass includes several render targets. At least one of the render targets is designated as a memory-less render target. The memory-less render target is used to store intermediate data. The intermediate data is combined with the outcome of at least one other graphics processing operation to generate a combined result. The combined result is stored in the frame buffer memory for display.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to the operation of graphics systems and to a variety of architectures for design and/or operation of a graphics system spanning from the output of an application program and extending to the presentation of visual content in the form of pixels or otherwise. In general, many embodiments of the invention contemplate a high level graphics framework to receive graphic requests from an application. The graphics request is analyzed by the high-level framework and sorted into groups of command statements for execution. The command statements are sorted to cause the most efficient processing by the underlying hardware and the groups are submitted separately to a GPU using a low-level standard library that facilitates close control of the hardware functionality.

Abstract: A relatively simple protocol for transferring files and other data between endpoints. The endpoints are a host electronic device and a client electronic device. The connection between the end points can utilize a reliable stream transport connection. Communication is accomplished utilizing packets that have a header and a body with information to be used in transmitting data between the end points. Various packet types are utilized to achieve data transfer.
