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.

Abstract: Techniques for packaging and deploying algorithms utilizing containers for flexible machine learning are described. In some embodiments, users can create or utilize simple containers adhering to a specification of a machine learning service in a provider network, where the containers include code for how a machine learning model is to be trained and/or executed. The machine learning service can automatically train a model and/or host a model using the containers. The containers can use a wide variety of algorithms and use a variety of types of languages, libraries, data types, etc. Users can thus implement machine learning training and/or hosting with extremely minimal knowledge of how the overall training and/or hosting is actually performed.

Abstract: A method is provided for mounting a light module. A light module that is mounted by means of such a method includes at least one light source for emitting light, and at least one optical element for forming the beam of light. The relative arrangement between the light source and the optical element is adjusted via the following steps. The light module is arranged in an adjusting device, and a light detection device is provided. The light source is switched on, and the light detection device is illuminated with the light. A set deviation between a value and an actual value of a light field generated with the light as compared to a required light field is measured. The relative arrangement between the light source and the optical element is then adjusted until the set/actual deviation is minimal or zero.
