Many computer applications incorporate and support animation (e. g. , interactive user interfaces). Unfortunately, it may be challenging for computer applications and rendering systems to render animation frames at a smooth and consistent rate while conserving system resources. Accordingly, a technique for controlling animation rendering frame rate of an application is disclosed herein. An animation rendering update interval of an animation timer may be adjusted based upon a rendering system state (e. g. , a rate of compositing visual layouts from animation frames) of a rendering system and/or an application state (e. g. , a rate at which an application renders frames) of an application. Adjusting the animation rendering update interval allows the animation timer to adjust the frequency of performing rendering callback notifications (work requests to an application to render animation frames) to an application based upon rendering system performance and application performance.

Many computer applications incorporate and support animation. Application performance may be enhanced by delegating animation management to an application program interface (animation API) for animation. Accordingly, an animation API for managing animation is disclosed herein. The animation API may be configured to sequentially interpolate values of animation variables defining animation movement of animation objects. The animation API may interpolate the values of the animation variables using animation transitions within animation storyboards. The animation API may be configured to determine durations of animation transitions based upon animation characteristics parameters (e.g., starting position, desiring ending position, starting velocity of an animation variable). Durations and start times of animation transitions may be determined based upon key frames. The animation API may be configured to resolve scheduling conflicts among one or more animation transitions. Also, the animation API may be configured to facilitate smooth animation while switching between animation transitions for an animation variable.

A database management system having a database component, which includes a lock manager, and a filesystem component. The filesystem component is configured to: generate a mapping between one or more filesystem access modes, one or more filesystem sharing modes and one or more database locks, receive a request from a filesystem stack to perform one or more actions on data in a database, identify a filesystem access mode and a filesystem share mode of the request, determine which one of the database locks corresponds to the filesystem access mode and the filesystem share mode of the request based on the mapping, and receive a notification lock on the data from the lock manager when no other database locks conflict with the notification lock, wherein the notification lock corresponds to the one of the database locks. After receiving the notification lock on the data, the lock manager is configured to send a notification to the filesystem component when a subsequent request from a database stack includes accessing the data.

An animation platform for managing the interpolation of values of one or more animation variables from one or more applications. The animation platform uses animation transitions to interpolate the values of the animation variables. When conflicts arise, the animation platform implements application-supplied logic to determine an execution priority of the conflicting animation transitions.

An animation platform for managing the interpolation of values of one or more animation variables from one or more applications. The animation platform uses animation transitions to interpolate the values of the animation variables. The animation platform uses a continuity parameter to smoothly switch from one animation transition to the next.
