Abstract: Techniques for in-flight scaling of machine learning training jobs are described. A request to execute a machine learning (ML) training job is received within a provider network, and the ML training job is executed using a first one or more compute instances. Upon a determination that a performance characteristic of the ML training job satisfies a scaling condition, a second one or more compute instances are added to the ML training job while the first one or more compute instances continue to execute portions of the ML training job.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing persistent execution environments for computation systems including but not limited to interactive computation systems. A service is provided that extends the notion of static containers to dynamically changing execution environments into which users can install code, add files, etc. The execution environments are monitored, and changes to an execution environment are automatically persisted to environment versions(s) so that code run in the execution environment can be run later or elsewhere simply by referring to the environment. There is no explicit build step for the user. Instead, incremental changes are added to environment versions which are stored and are ready to be used to instantiate respective execution environments on other compute instances.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide end-to-end frame time synchronization designed to improve smoothness for displaying images of 3D applications, such as PC gaming applications. Traditionally, an application that renders 3D graphics functions based on the assumption that the average render time will be used as the animation time for a given frame. When this condition is not met, and the render time for a frame does not match the average render time of prior frames, the frames are not captured or displayed at a consistent rate. This invention enables feedback to be provided to the rendering application for adjusting the animation times used to produce new frames, and a post-render queue is used to store completed frames for mitigating stutter and hitches. Flip control is used to sync the display of a rendered frame with the animation time used to generate the frame, thereby producing a smooth, consistent image.
