The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying a video game configured to be available to stream from a server within a cloud gaming environment; pre-loading an instance of the video game on the server before receiving a request by a user to stream the video game to a client system; receiving the request by the user to stream the video game; and allocating the pre-loaded instance of the video game to the user for streaming to the client system in response to receiving the request by the user to stream the video game, thereby reducing a latency between the user submitting the request and the video game being ready for the user to stream. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for low-latency initialization of streaming applications

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (1) provisioning a cloud gaming environment with a plurality of containers that share a single operating system instance, (2) allocating each container within the plurality of containers to a corresponding user, (3) executing, concurrently, within each container within the plurality of containers a corresponding video game instance and (4) streaming, concurrently, from the cloud gaming environment, a video game instance from each container within the plurality of containers to a corresponding client system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for secure concurrent streaming of applications

Techniques for efficient messaging client communication are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component of a messaging server operative to receive a protocol connect packet from a messaging client, the protocol connect packet initiating a client authentication process with the messaging client; and receive a message package from the messaging client, the message package received during the client authentication process; a client authentication component operative to perform the client authentication process with the messaging client; and a client message queueing component operative to queue the message package in an authorization-holding message queue in response to the message package being received during the client authentication process. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An online system processes data in a distributed processing system. To detect loss and corruption of data, the online system periodically stores information describing states of data processed during various time intervals and updates the information to include changes occurring within a predetermined period. Based on states of data described by information stored at a time, the online system performs a modified process on data received or processed during a time interval. For each item of data on which the modified process was performed, the online system compares a modified state of the data item to a state described by information stored at an additional time to determine if data was lost or corrupted. Lost or corrupted data is identified and processed based on the state of data described by the information stored at the time.
