Abstract: The techniques described in the disclosure are generally related to gradual, iterative hang recovery for a graphics processing unit (GPU). The techniques described in the disclosure attempt to re-execute instructions of an application in response to a GPU hang, rather than stopping the execution of the application. If the re-execution causes the GPU to hang again, the techniques described in the disclosure cause the GPU to iteratively execute next set of instructions.

Abstract: Techniques for performing progressive boot to reduce perceived boot time for a wireless device are described. Program codes to be stored in a bulk non-volatile memory may be partitioned into multiple code images. A first code image may include program codes used to support basic functionality of the wireless device. A second code image may include the remaining program codes. For progressive boot, the first code image may be loaded first from the bulk non-volatile memory. Once the first code image has been loaded, the wireless device may be rendered operational and may appear as functional to a user. While the wireless device is operational, the second code image may be loaded from the bulk non-volatile memory as background task and/or on-demand as needed.
