Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a foreground application and at least one background application from multiple graphics applications executing within an execution environment are disclosed. Pixel data rendered by the foreground application may be displayed in the execution environment while a rendering thread of the background application may be paused.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- at one or more processor cores,
- determining, for a plurality of graphics applications executing within an execution environment, a foreground application and at least one background application;
- providing pixel data rendered by the foreground application in the execution environment;
- and
- pausing a rendering thread of the background application while providing the pixel data.

A system, comprising:
- memory to store a plurality of graphics applications;
- and
- one or more processor cores coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processor cores are configured to determine, for the plurality of graphics applications, a foreground application and at least one background application, to provide pixel data rendered by the foreground application, and, while providing the pixel data, to pause a rendering thread of the background application.
An article comprising a computer program product having stored therein instructions that, if executed, result in:
- at one or more processor cores,
- determining, for a plurality of graphics applications executing within an execution environment, a foreground application and at least one background application;
- providing pixel data rendered by the foreground application in the execution environment;
- and
- pausing a rendering thread of the background application while providing the pixel data.
