"Detecting and testing task optimizations using frame interception in content generation systems and applications" was invented by Michael Murphy (Boston).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Approaches presented herein provide for the optimization of tasks performed for an operation such as the rendering of an image. A Frame Interceptor (FI) can generate a resource dependency graph (RDG) by intercepting API calls during the rendering process and determining dependencies. FI can analyze the RDG to identify potential optimizations, such as may correspond to reorderin...
