Abstract: The subject technology determines input parameters and an output format of algorithms for a particular functionality provided by an electronic device. The subject technology determines an order of the algorithms for performing the particular functionality based on temporal dependencies of the algorithms, and the input parameters and the output format of the algorithms. The subject technology generates a graph based on the order of the algorithms, the graph comprising a set of nodes corresponding to the algorithms, each node indicating a particular processor of the electronic device for executing an algorithm. Further, the subject technology executes the particular functionality based on performing a traversal of the graph, the traversal comprising a topological traversal of the set of nodes and the traversal being based on a score indicating whether selection of a particular node for execution over another node enables a greater number of processors to be utilized at a time.

Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for managing the allocation of memory storage space in a non-volatile memory to improve the operation of a camera application. A camera application monitors an amount of available memory storage space in the non-volatile memory. Responsive to various triggering events, the camera application compares the amount of available memory storage space to a threshold value. When the amount of available memory storage space is less than the threshold value, the camera application transmits a request to a background service to free additional memory storage space within a temporary data store associated with one or more applications installed on the computing device. The temporary data store provides a location for local data to improve the efficiency of the applications, which can be exploited by the camera application to free up memory to avoid a low-memory condition that could prevent the camera application from performing certain operations.
