In an example, an apparatus comprises a plurality of execution units and logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to generate synthetic data for a generative adversarial network (GAN) using the plurality of execution units. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include an application processor, persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor, a graphics subsystem communicatively coupled to the application processor, a power budget analyzer to identify a power budget for one or more of the application processor, the persistent storage media, and the graphics subsystem, a target analyzer communicatively coupled to the graphics subsystem to identify a target for the graphics subsystem, and a parameter adjuster to adjust one or more parameters of the graphics subsystem based on one or more of the identified power budget and the identified target.

The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for partitioning a 3D scene into a plurality of zones, each zone representing an area or a volume of the 3D scene and being processed by a computing resource. The method comprises providing a 3D scene comprising one or more objects, each object generating a computing resource cost; computing a first map that represents a density of computing costs of the provided 3D scene; defining a second map that represents constraints on the shapes of zones that will be obtained as a result of a partitioning of the 3D scene; discretizing the provided 3D scene into cells by computing a space quantization of the 3D scene free of dynamic objects, a dynamic object being an object that can potentially move in the 3D scene; computing, for each cell, a computing cost from the first map of the 3D scene; aggregating the cells into one or more zones in accordance with the second map, each zone having a computing cost that is the sum of the computing costs of the cells belonging to the zone, the computing cost of the zone allowing a real-time simulation of the zone on a computing resource.

A method is provided for a streaming hierarchy traversal renderer with particular application for feature films and other demanding content creation using scenes of high complexity that cannot fit in memory. The renderer organizes scene geometry into a spatial hierarchy, generates directional queries to be traced in the spatial hierarchy, performs a streaming hierarchy traversal over the directional queries, and uses the results of the directional queries to shade or render the scene. The traversal performs a single pass over the directional queries for splitting into one child stream of directional queries for each child node at each scene node in the hierarchy. A prioritized traversal of the hierarchy may also be carried out using various cost-metrics for optimized parallelism. The rendering may also bounce the directional queries to provide multi-pass global illumination.

In an image data transmission system, even when encoded serial digital data transmitted from an endoscope 2 to a video processor 3 cannot be decoded due to a shift in a delimiter position as a result of a lack of the serial digital data or the like, a communication transmission section 37 transmits error announcement information to a communication reception section 27 in the endoscope 2 based on a decoding error signal from a decoding error detection section 36, and a control code insertion section 25 that has received the information instructs an encoding section 23 to insert a control code for synchronization at a timing of occurrence of an error.
