Abstract: A game-agnostic event detector can be used to automatically identify game events. Game-specific configuration data can be used to specify types of pre-processing to be performed on media for a game session, as well as types of detectors to be used to detect events for the game. Event data for detected events can be written to an event log in a form that is both human- and process-readable. The event data can be used for various purposes, such as to generate highlight videos or provide player performance feedback.

Abstract: In various examples, applications may be executed on remote computing devices to composite and broadcast gameplay with video and audio data. Systems and methods are disclosed that distribute, between and among various computing devices, processing of tasks including rendering of gameplay, composition of various types of data, and broadcasting of composited data. The tasks may be executed on computing devices that are remote to a client device, such as a virtual machine, GPU, server, and/or other computing device in the cloud, all of which are connected through a network. Customized composited content may be generated within the system, without latency and dropped frames, by distributing tasks such as compositing and rendering of gameplay to computing devices that have high performance capability and are specialized for handling memory- and time-intensive tasks.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to generate images. In at least one embodiment, one or more neural networks are used to generate one or more first images based, at least in part, upon one or more second images having one or more different points of view.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for directing funds to philanthropic organizations are provided. An advertisement server system includes advertisement servers, databases, and client devices. Publishers register with advertisement servers to select philanthropic organizations and to customize advertisement placeholders that are rendered on sites web pages associated with the publishers. The databases store records and accounts for the publishers and philanthropic organizations. The client devices interact with the web pages associated with the publishers. And based on the level of interaction by the client devices with an advertisement placeholder, the philanthropic organization that is linked to the advertisement placeholder is directly provided with a financial donation from the advertisement server system listing the publisher as a donor.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a complete address of a test point of an application from a relative address of the test point and a configuration of a system are provided. An application component that defines the application includes a relative address of the test point. An abstract configuration of a system specifies a location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point is then formulated using the relative address of the test point and the indication of the location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point can then be used to perform a health check of the instance of the application.

Abstract: Subscription-based notification using event channels that each correspond to a particular scope. Each channel manages notifications through the use of a schema definition. The event subscriptions identify the position and attributes that any desired event notification would take in the schema definition. The channel then receives event notifications in the form of XML fragments. The channel then determines the position that the XML fragment would take as defined by the schema definition. The channel determines whether the position and attributes of the event notification matches the position and attributes of the event subscription. If a match is found, then the event notification is copied and forwarded to the recipient designated in the corresponding subscription.

Abstract: A command line utility is described that overlays the management infrastructure of an enterprise to provide easier command options for administrators to effectively manage the enterprise. The primary intent of the command line utility is to facilitate management of the environment without requiring administrators to write scripts or navigate a vast schematized enterprise exposed through the management infrastructure. The command line utility provides command options through class aliases that enable the mapping of management queries and operations to a common term or friendly name that can be extended both in an alias file or at run time in the command line.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for integrating messaging diagnostics into a messaging pipeline. A messaging pipeline receives a control message and passes the control message through one or more pipeline components (potentially a security component) positioned in the messaging pipeline. The control message is passed to a diagnostic control component positioned in the messaging pipeline subsequent to passing the received control message through one or more pipeline components. The diagnostic control component activates message diagnostics at diagnostic components positioned within one or more messaging pipelines in accordance with instructions contained in the control message. When message diagnostics are activated, messaging pipelines pass accessed messages to diagnostic components positioned in the messaging pipeline.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for securely inspecting electronic messages. A computer system receives a control message that is passed through one or more receiving path components, positioned in a message receiving path, to a security component. The security component authenticates the received control message and passes the received control message to an inspection control component. The inspection control component activates message inspection in accordance with instructions contained in the received control message. When message inspection is activated, the computer system passes accessed messages to corresponding inspection components positioned in message paths (either receiving or sending) of the accessed message. The inspection component generates an inspection report (e.g., including a portion of contents of the accessed message) in accordance with instructions contained in a previously authenticated control message.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for exposing instrumentation data available from within a managed code environment to an instrumentation data source executing outside of said managed code environment is presented. The method comprises each of the following. An indication is received that said instrumentation data should be exposed to said instrumentation data source. In response to receiving said indication, a decoupled provider is loaded. The decoupled provider facilitates communication between said managed code environment and said instrumentation data source. A determination is made as to whether schema describing said instrumentation data has been previously registered with said instrumentation data source. In response to determining that said schema has not been previously registered with said instrumentation data source, said schema is registered with said instrumentation data source through said decoupled provider.
