摘要： Described is a system for providing variants of a digital asset based on specific device capabilities of target devices. A developer may compress a digital asset that is part of a universal application to be installed on a set of target devices by selecting from a set of intent-based compression options. The compression options may include hardware-accelerated compression formats that utilize a graphics processing unit (GPU) during rendering. Despite the compression option selected, the application package includes a variant of the digital asset renderable on each type of target device including devices without a GPU. This allows a developer to freely choose any option without the concern of whether the option is compatible or supported by each type of device. A distribution server may then map attributes of a specific target to particular feature classes, and accordingly, distribute an appropriate variant of the digital asset to the target device.

摘要： A client server environment having a server with a Web service in communication with a local client application which is tightly integrated with its local operating environment residing on a platform remote from the server; the local client application tightly integrated by way of integrating data structures requested and received from the server; the integrating data structures defining the attributes and parameters needed by the local client application to define an interface between the local client application and the Web service. The integrating data structures enable tight/close integration between the hosted application and the devices and the operating system features of the platform upon which the local client application resides. Also disclosed is an abstracted environment which can run on any one of the supported platform's devices as a native application, all based on the passing of the same page commands and receipt of corresponding client data objects between the server and the client applications; the data objects being identical irrespective of the platform. In a preferred form, the device application interface for each local platform is tightly integrated with the client application whereby the abstracted environment appears to run as a native application on the platform.

摘要： A method and an apparatus that schedule a plurality of executables in a schedule queue for execution in one or more physical compute devices such as CPUs or GPUs concurrently are described. One or more executables are compiled online from a source having an existing executable for a type of physical compute devices different from the one or more physical compute devices. Dependency relations among elements corresponding to scheduled executables are determined to select an executable to be executed by a plurality of threads concurrently in more than one of the physical compute devices. A thread initialized for executing an executable in a GPU of the physical compute devices are initialized for execution in another CPU of the physical compute devices if the GPU is busy with graphics processing threads.

摘要： A compiler may optimize source code and any referenced libraries to execute on a plurality of different processor architecture implementations. For example, if a compute node has three different types of processors with three different architecture implementations, the compiler may compile the source code and generate three versions of object code where each version is optimized for one of the three different processor types. After compiling the source code, the resultant executable code may contain the necessary information for selecting between the three versions. For example, when a program loader assigns the executable code to the processor, the system determines the processor's type and ensures only the optimized version that corresponds to that type is executed. Thus, the operating system is free to assign the executable code to any of the different types of processors.

摘要： A system can be operable to receive boot configuration information from a remote source independent of the type of initiator (e.g., software or hardware) used by an information handling system. The information handling system having the initiator can be coupled to the remote source, which includes the boot configuration information, and a storage array that includes a boot image. While operating within a pre-operating system (pre-OS) environment, the information handling system can create a boot configuration table and populate the boot configuration table with the boot configuration information. The boot configuration information can include an address for the boot image and information for configuring an OS initiator to be used when loading the OS.
