A method of providing interaction with a game instance of a game application by a remote user includes, at a distribution node, receiving video information from a game server, encoding the video information into encoded video information, distributing the encoded video information to a client device, receiving a user input from the client device, and transmitting the user input to the game server.

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media to selectively enhance digital image and video content. For example, systems disclosed herein can encode original video content to compress and decompress the original video content. Systems described herein can further identify area of interest information for use in identifying portions of decompressed video content to analyze and remove one or more compression artifacts found therein. Systems described herein can further enhance the decompressed video content by increasing resolution for display. By identifying areas of interest and selectively enhancing digital video content, the systems described herein can reduce consumption of bandwidth and processing resources while maintaining high visual quality of the digital content.

Examples described herein improve the quality of the video frames that are rendered and displayed. A system is configured to generate render targets based on instructions received from a source of video content. The system is configured to create and/or access a selection parameter and use the selection parameter to identify one or more of the render targets to be scaled. Once identified, the system scales a native size (e.g., a native resolution) of an identified render target to a larger size (e.g., based on a predetermined scaling factor), thereby generating a higher density render target. The higher density render target, or a corresponding higher density render target texture (RTT), can be used in a rendering pipeline to produce a video frame in a higher output resolution (e.g., 4k resolution) compared to the output resolution specified in the instructions (e.g., 720p resolution).

A computing system configured to execute instructions for a first graphical processing unit (GPU) on a second GPU is provided. The computing system may include the second GPU and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive second GPU state data that indicates one or more global properties of the second GPU. The processor may be further configured to receive one or more binary instructions for texture operation configured to be executed on the first GPU. Based on the second GPU state data, the processor may be further configured to apply a texture value patch to the one or more binary instructions. Applying the texture value patch may translate the one or more binary instructions into one or more translated binary instructions configured to be executed on the second GPU.

The control flow of a first graphics-processing-unit shader program coded in a low-level programming language that allows arbitrary jumps is emulated in a second graphics-processing-unit shader program coded in a higher-level programming language that does not allow arbitrary jumps. Each instruction in the first program is individually evaluated as follows. First it is determined if the instruction is the first instruction in the first program or a jump destination therein. Whenever it is determined that the instruction is the first instruction in the first program or a jump destination therein, an appropriate case label is inserted into the second program. Then it is determined if the instruction is a jump instruction. Whenever it is determined that the instruction is a jump instruction, the jump instruction is translated into an appropriate switch case statement in the higher-level language, and this switch case statement is inserted into the second program.
