A runtime environment allows a scheduler in a process of a computer system to be finalized prior to the process completing. The runtime environment causes execution contexts that are inducted into the scheduler and execution contexts created by the scheduler to be tracked. The runtime environment finalizes the scheduler subsequent to each inducted execution context exiting the scheduler and each created execution context being retired by the scheduler.

Scheduler finalization

A runtime environment of a computer system is provided that creates first and second scheduler instances in a process. Each scheduler instance includes allocated processing resources and is assigned a set of tasks for execution. Each scheduler instance schedules tasks for execution using the allocated processing resources to perform the work of the process.

Method of assigning instructions in a process to a plurality of scheduler instances based on the instruction, in which each scheduler instance is allocated a set of negoitaited processor resources

A logger in a process of a computer system creates a log queue for each execution context and/or processing resource in the process. A log is created in the log queue for each log request and log information associated with the log request is stored into the log. All logs in each log queue except for the most recently added log in each log queue are flushed prior to the process completing.

Method for selective flushing logs within multiple queues concurrently

Methods and systems for applying visual effects to active content, such as buttons, comboboxes, video, edit fields, etc., wherein interactivity of the active content are retained thereafter. Also, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for developers to build new visual effects and have them applied to active content.

Extensible visual effects on active content in user interfaces

An improved system and method for an extensible codec architecture for digital images is provided. Executable software code may be operably coupled to a codec manager for requesting imaging operations to be performed on a digital image. The codec manager may receive the request to perform an imaging operation on the digital image and may select an imaging component, such as a codec, from one or more imaging components registered in the computer system for performing an imaging operation on the digital image. An arbitration manager may include functionality for requesting enumeration of the operations an imaging component may perform on a particular digital image. One or more pixel format converters may then convert the pixel format in the digital image to a pixel format supported by an imaging component installed on the system.
