  • Publication number: 20240037649
    Abstract: Disclosed methods and systems perform initial phase operations and one or more iterations of construction phase operations to evaluate a loan regarding a proposed project for a property. The initial phase operations, which determine a value for an initial phase lending metric, include determining a funded-at-close (FAC) amount and a value-at-close (VAC) of the property and calculating the initial phase lending metric based on the FAC and the VAC. If the initial phase lending metric value fails to satisfy an initial phase lending criteria, disclosed methods may terminate. Otherwise, the process may continue to one or more iterations of construction phase operations. Disclosed construction phase operations may use the ARV of the proposed project in the calculation and evaluation of construction phase metrics. Thus, disclosed methods and systems determine an after-repair-value (ARV) for the propose project prior to performing the construction phase operations.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to machine learning based automated management of a user account. A computing platform may determine, via a computing device and based on historical user activity of a user, a pattern of the user activity. Subsequently, the computing platform may detect a deviation from the pattern of the user activity. Then, the computing platform may identify an anticipated transaction of the user. Then, the computing platform may retrieve, from a repository of user data, one or more user-defined preference rules associated with the anticipated transaction. Then, the computing platform may determine whether the one or more preference rules apply to one or more attributes of the anticipated transaction. Subsequently, the computing platform may trigger, based on a determination that the one or more preference rules apply to the one or more attributes of the anticipated transaction, an action associated with the anticipated transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240037692
    Abstract: When performing tile-based rendering in a graphics processing system, lists indicative of fragments to be processed are maintained for respective sub-regions of tiles to be rendered, with each list entry including, inter alia, at least an indication of the coverage within the tile sub-region of the group of fragments that the list entry represents, and an indication of whether the group of fragments that the list entry represents is eligible to undergo particular processing operations. The coverage information and eligibility information for the list entries is then used to control the processing of fragments for sub-regions of a tile, in such a way as to ensure that processing order dependencies are enforced and met.

  • Publication number: 20240037693
    Abstract: In tile-based graphics processing systems, a tiling unit determines which tiles of a rendering space a primitive is in, such that the primitives in a tile can be rendered. Rather than performing tiling calculations for each tile in a bounding box for a primitive, tiling tests can be performed for a subset of the tiles. Then the results of the tiling tests for the subset of tiles can be used to determine whether the primitive is in other tiles which are located within a region bounded by two or more of the tiles of the subset. In this way the tiling process can be implemented without performing tiling calculations for all of the tiles in the bounding box for a primitive. Reducing the number of tiling calculations can help to improve the efficiency of the graphics processing system (in terms of speed and power consumption) for rendering a primitive.

  • Publication number: 20240037695
    Abstract: An exemplary image processing system first writes normal line information and color information into the G buffer and depth information into the depth buffer for a first object. Next, at a time of writing the normal line information into the G buffer for a second object, the exemplary image processing system calculates a difference between the depth information of a first object and the depth information of the second object, and blends the normal line information of the first object with the normal line information of the second object based on the difference, and writes the blended normal line information into the G buffer. The exemplary image processing system then renders an image in a frame buffer based on information stored in the G buffer and light source information.
