Parallel processing of frames by a first and second thread is disclosed. In particular, the systems and methods can process multiple frames in a pipelines manner by a JavaScript thread and a UI thread. The system first executes a first frame by a JavaScript thread during a first time interval. The system then executes the first frame by a UI thread during a second time interval. While the UI thread is executing the first frame, the JavaScript thread executes a second thread in parallel during the second time internal. As a result, latency is added to UI processing while maintaining the same throughput, to add parallelism. The JavaScript and UI threads can be handled by different processors (e.g., using a multi-core processor), thereby adding further parallelism and increasing the efficiency of processing an event.

Multi-threaded asynchronous frame processing

Techniques to allow for ease of navigation within a photo browsing interface of a social networking system. In one embodiment, a designation of a first image for sharing is received from within at least one of a single-image view and a camera view. Based on the designation, the first image is added to a communication. The designation may be based on a user selection of an option provided by an interface of a mobile device. The first image may be received from within a social networking application or from within a dedicated camera application. In another embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and the designated images is based on the privacy setting of a user. The communication and the designated images may contain tag data identifying one or more people on a social networking system. In an alternative embodiment, the privacy level of the communication and designated images is adjusted according to the one or more people identified in the tag data.

Systems and methods for multiple photo feed stories

Access to a set of media content items is acquirable. Identified processors can perform, in parallel, object detection for the set. In some cases, information about a current system state, a user, and/or object popularity metrics is acquirable for selecting a subset of object models. Object recognition is performable, based on the subset, for the set of media content items. In some instances, a camera view can be provided. Object recognition is performable for representations of the view. An object depicted in the representations is identifiable. An interface portion is presentable to provide a label for the object. In some cases, object recognition is performable for the set of media content items to identify an object depicted in a content item. A label is associable with the content item. A search through the set of media content items can identify, based on the label, a subset that depicts the object.

Systems and methods for processing media content that depict objects

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect a set of images locally stored on a computing system. The computing system can be associated with a first user. One or more facial recognition processes can be applied to the set of images. It can be determined, based on the one or more facial recognition processes, that a subset of images, out of the set of images, is associated with a second user. One or more options for the first user to share the subset of images with the second user can be provided.

Systems and methods for sharing media content with recognized social connections

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a designation of one or more items of digital media; receiving a communication regarding the one or more items of digital media; associating the one or more items of digital media with the communication based on the designation; and setting a privacy level for the communication and the one or more items of digital media on a social-networking system based on a privacy setting of a user on the social-networking system.
