The NAL unit may be a picture parameter set (PPS) NAL unit. The NAL unit may be a sequence parameter set (SPS) NAL unit.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a parallel processing unit (PPU) that performs pixel shading at variable granularities. For effects that vary at a low frequency across a pixel block, a coarse shading unit performs the associated shading operations on a subset of the pixels in the pixel block. By contrast, for effects that vary at a high frequency across the pixel block, fine shading units perform the associated shading operations on each pixel in the pixel block. Because the PPU implements coarse shading units and fine shading units, the PPU may tune the shading rate per-effect based on the frequency of variation across each pixel group. By contrast, conventional PPUs typically compute all effects per-pixel, performing redundant shading operations for low frequency effects. Consequently, to produce similar image quality, the PPU consumes less power and increases the rendering frame rate compared to a conventional PPU.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to determine traffic volume of a domain name server caused by a host domain. In some examples, a host domain may store page view data that relates to page views requested at the domain name server. The host domain may receive a first query for a resource associated with the host domain. The host domain may add an instruction to the resource to produce a modified resource and send the modified resource to a device. The modified resource may generate a second query that may be used to determine traffic volume. The device may receive the modified resource, and generate the second query that includes an identification of the domain name server. The host domain may receive the second query, detect the identification, and update the page view data. The host domain may determine traffic volume based on the page view data.

A reference picture previously associated with the position may be shifted in the reference picture list according to the indication to reposition and/or insert the reference picture, although an indication to reposition the reference picture previously associated with the position may not be received. The slice may be decoded using the reference picture list.
