Synchronization Points for State Information

摘要

Techniques for synchronization points for state information are described. In at least some embodiments, synchronization points are employed to propagate state information among different processing threads. A synchronization point, for example, can be employed to propagate state information among different independently-executing threads. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, synchronization points serve as inter-thread communications among different independently-executing threads.

1. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and one or more computer-readable storage media including instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations including:
executing a first thread to generate a change to a visual state of a graphical element, and to emit a synchronization point that includes an indication of the change to the visual state and that persists in a valid state at least until a second thread retrieves and processes the synchronization point to update the visual state of the graphical element; andexecuting the second thread to process the synchronization point to determine the change to the visual state, and to render the graphical element to apply the change to the visual state.
