Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems, and techniques of offloading shader program compilation at a computing system. A detection is made that a set of shader programs are to be compiled for an application executing at a computing system using a first set of processing devices. A second set of processing devices to compile the set of shader programs is identified. Each of the second set of processing devices is different from any processing device of the first set of processing devices. The set of shader programs is provided for compilation using the second set of processing devices in view of state data associated with the computing system to obtain a set of complied shader programs. The set of compiled shader programs is executed using the first set of processing devices.

In order to perform denoising on a three-dimensional (3D) spherical measurement of light (such as spherical irradiance probe information or the results of a 3D gonioreflectometry capture), the 3D spherical measurement of light is converted to a two-dimensional (2D) measurement by creating multiple copies of the 3D spherical measurement of light, determining a two-dimensional sub-domain (e.g., a rectangular sub-domain) for each of the multiple copies, and stitching the plurality of two-dimensional sub-domains together in a toroidal configuration. Denoising may then be performed on this 2D measurement via a machine learning implementation or other means. This may result in more accurate 3D spherical light probes that require fewer light measurement samples to generate accurate light measurements.

Various embodiments relating to controlling a see-through display are disclosed. In one embodiment, virtual objects may be displayed on the see-through display. The virtual objects transition between having a position that is body-locked and a position that is world-locked based on various transition events.

Transitions between body-locked and world-locked augmented reality

Methods and systems may involve determining a user attention level based on video stream data associated with a first participant in an always-on video conferencing session. The video stream data may be modified based on the user attention level to obtain modified video stream data that is automatically adjusted for privacy. In addition, the modified video stream data may be transmitted to one or more other participants in the video conferencing session.

Automated privacy adjustments to video conferencing streams

A method and system may include a chip having graphics rendering hardware, a cache and a processor to execute an application with texture allocation logic to receive notification of a page miss from the graphics rendering hardware. The logic can map the page miss to a tile of a texture image, store the tile as an entry to the cache, and map the entry to a virtual address space of a virtual image corresponding to the texture image. The system may also include off-chip memory to store the texture image.

Demand-paged textures

A method, apparatus, and system are described for list texturing being performed over a data path of a graphics pipeline. Input data is received at a graphics pipeline of a graphics processing unit to be processed and generated into a final image to be displayed on a display device of a computer system. Geographic primitives are obtained from processing the input data, and neighbor aggregation of pixels within the geographic primitives is performed. The neighbor aggregation of the pixels includes rendering list texture of the pixels by merging the geographic primitives.

List texture

Art asset rendering systems and methods in which pre-processing is performed in a compilation process. Geometric data are processed in the compilation process with knowledge of associated shading programs. The data are converted into data structures targeted directly to a target hardware platform, and a code stream is assembled that describes the manipulations required to render these data structures. The compiler includes a front end configured to read the geometric data and attributes (an art asset) output from a 3D modeling package and shaders in a platform independent form and perform platform-independent optimizations, and a back end configured to perform platform-specific optimizations and generate platform-targeted data structures and code streams.
