Abstract: Particular embodiments of a computing device may provide a main thread, a graphics thread to handle tasks related to rendering and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI), and an input thread to handle tasks related to processing input-related events. The GUI may comprise at least one animated component associated with a set of state variables. The main thread may handle tasks to generate a GUI hierarchy and provide copies of the GUI hierarchy to the input thread and the graphics thread. The input thread may handle tasks to initialize and update the state variables and provide information about the state variables to the graphics thread. The graphics thread may then handle tasks to update the GUI by rendering a first frame of the animation based on the state variables.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide for asynchronous execution of instructions using a multi-threaded approach to outsource low-level input/output-handling tasks. Particular embodiments may use (1) a main thread to handle execution of instructions to generate a hierarchy of layers representing a GUI, wherein each layer represents a logical grouping of components of the GUI, (2) an input thread to handle asynchronous execution of instructions to process user input based on interactions with the GUI, and (3) a graphics thread to handle asynchronous execution of instructions to generate and/or update display output in relation to one or more layers of the GUI hierarchy. The input thread may send information about received input directly to the graphics thread and the main thread at the same time, thereby enabling the graphics thread to begin refreshing the display output while the main thread performs any necessary processing of the user input.
