    Abstract: A computing device performs a first operation before a first commit deadline, resulting in a first frame being rendered and displayed in a first cycle. A second operation is performed, before a second commit deadline, resulting in a second frame being rendered and displayed in a second cycle. A time remaining to a third commit deadline is determined, using the current time. A third operation is predicted, performable before a third commit deadline. An additional operation is predicted, performable for a future cycle. A total processing time for the third and additional operations is determined, being less than the remaining time. The third and additional operations are performed for use in a future cycle. The result of the third operation is used to render a third frame for the third cycle. The result of the additional operation is used to render an additional frame before a future render deadline.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for techniques to display rectangular content in non-rectangular display areas without clipping or cutting off the content. These bounding path techniques can be employed for electronic devices with rounded corners and for display of content within software windows for applications, in which the windows have non-rectangular corners. The techniques disclosed include content shifting, aspect fit, run length encoding and corner encoding. These techniques can be applied to both static content and for dynamic content. Memory optimization techniques are disclosed to reduce the memory requirements for encoding display bitmaps and for optimal performance. The run length encoding feature can reduce the time and decrease the memory requirements for determining a location where the content can fit within a viewable area of the display. The corner encoding technique provides for encoding areas with non-linear curves.
