In an example embodiment, a received JPEG image compression format image includes one or more minimum coded units (ICUs). Each MCU is decoded using an image compression format decoder. Each decoded MCU is then split into multiple decoded subblocks. Each decoded subblock can then be encoded into texture compression format using a texture compression format encoder. Each encoded texture compression format subblock can then be passed to a graphical processing unit (GPU) for processing.

A unified notification system in which notifications for all of a user's devices and services appear in windows of all of the user's devices. Notifications related to the user's social network friends and public users that the user subscribes to may also appear in the windows of all devices. Events from the user's devices and accounts are sent to a server for aggregation and provisioning back to the user's devices. To this end, a HTTP API may query the server to receive the user's notifications. Notifications that include content can also include metadata. The user can respond to any notification from any device.
