Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for embedding thumbnail information into a video file such as a clip, stream, recording, and so forth. The thumbnail information may include, for example, a representative image of the video content in the file, an index to a key frame in the video content, or any combination thereof. If the thumbnail information includes the representative image, the representative image may be embedded at a predetermined location in the file. If the thumbnail information includes the index to a key frame, the index may be embedded in a header of the file.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for implementing GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) accelerated address translation for graphics virtualization. In one embodiment, such a system includes a main memory having a plurality of machine physical addresses; a graphics processor unit having graphics memory therein; an address translation service integrated with the graphics processor unit; a hypervisor to manage one or more guest machines; wherein the hypervisor is to configure a lookup table within the graphics memory of the graphics processor unit; and further wherein the address translation service of the graphics processor unit is to translate a guest physical address for one of the one or more guest machines to a corresponding machine physical address within the main memory. Such a graphics processor unit may be implemented separate from a system, for example, embodied within a silicon integrated circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus, a computing device, a media playback workload scheduler, and a computer readable medium are described herein. The apparatus includes media playback workload scheduling logic to allocate a plurality of media frames for batch media processing, logic to process the media frames, and logic to render the processed media frames.

Abstract: An apparatus and a system are described herein. The apparatus includes logic to render a video. The apparatus also includes logic to adjust a feature of a video in response to a power consumption, wherein the logic to adjust a feature of a video is integrated into an operating system of the apparatus.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for invoking a plurality of parallel instances of a hardware video encoder, wherein the plurality of parallel instances includes a first encoder instance and a second encoder instance. Additionally, the first encoder instance may be used to make a scene change determination and a motion level determination with respect to the video content. In one example, the second encoder instance is used to encode the video content based on the scene change determination and the motion level determination.

Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, apparatus and system for enhanced digital right management framework are described. A server platform may receive a request of downloading content and first attestation information from a client platform. The server platform may examine if the client platform attests to a client platform characteristic that affects integrity of the client platform by using the attestation information, and then encrypt and download the content to the client platform if the client platform attests to the client platform characteristic. The server platform may further receive a request of viewing the content and second attestation information from the client platform. The server platform may then examine if the client platform attests to its integrity by using the second attestation information; and then send a content key to the client platform if the client platform attests to its integrity, so that the client platform can decrypt and view the content.
