Techniques for coalescing graphics operations are described. In at least some embodiments, multiple graphics operations can be generated to be applied to a graphical element, such as a graphical user interface (GUI). The graphics operations can be coalesced into a single renderable graphics operation that can be processed and rendered.

Coalescing graphics operations

Techniques for synchronization points for state information are described. In at least some embodiments, synchronization points are employed to propagate state information among different processing threads. A synchronization point, for example, can be employed to propagate state information among different independently-executing threads. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, synchronization points serve as inter-thread communications among different independently-executing threads.

Synchronization points for state information

Various embodiments provide approaches for measuring the rendering times of a webpage that can be browser-independent. In at least some embodiments, as a web page is rendered, video data of the webpage is captured and analyzed to ascertain when the webpage, or portions thereof, have likely been completely rendered. In at least some embodiments, image processing can be performed on captured video data to ascertain, from observed pixel changes over time, when the webpage has likely been rendered.
