Guaranteeing long-term smoothness with the tech-innovative Dynamic Computing Engine in OPPO ColorOS 13

OPPO

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 6 September 2022 - The increasingly important role that smart devices play in our lives is placing more and more demands on their ability to deliver consistently smooth and reliable experiences. But even in 2022, more than a decade since smartphones became a common part of our everyday existence, performance optimization is still one of the biggest challenges facing the industry. Despite exponential increases to the amount of RAM and ROM on smartphones over the past ten years, slow app opening and switching speeds, phone overheating, and high-power consumption are still regular concerns for users. This leads to the question, if today’s smartphone hardware is so powerful, why do we still experience such fundamental issues in user experience? Powerful hardware only works if used right Fierce competition in the smartphone industry over the past decade has led to many manufacturers fighting in a race to deliver the most powerful device in terms of raw hardware performance. This has caused many industry analysts and everyday users alike to wonder if smartphone hardware has now become more powerful than it needs to be. A better way of looking at the issue though is whether this power is being put to the right use or not. When it comes to using powerful hardware in the most effective way, there are two mistakes which are commonly made. The first is to allocate too many computing resources to a process that doesn’t need them, ultimately leading to unnecessary power consumption. For example, two smartphones equipped with the same chipset can have vastly different levels of power consumption, and this is partly a result of the way resource are allocated and scheduled. The second type of misuse occurs during memory scheduling conflicts. These are what cause the phone to lag or freeze, for example when switching from one application to another, as system resources originally committed to the first app take time to become available for use by the second. To solve these problems and ensure that the hardware on its latest smart devices is put to the best use, OPPO has developed a system level computing hub — the Dynamic Computing Engine — that can be found in the latest version of its mobile operating system, ColorOS 13. The Dynamic Computing Engine: OPPO’s system level computing hub for ColorOS ColorOS’s Dynamic Computing Engine uses a Computing Power Model to schedule hardware resources effectively and accurately. By optimizing through four computing technologies (Parallel Computing, High-Performance Computing, Device-Cloud Collaborative Computing, and Intelligent Computing), the Dynamic Computing Engine helps deliver an all-round smoother and more stable user experience over the long-term on OPPO devices. The Dynamic Computing Engine is an evolving technology platform that combines hardware and software to deliver maximum performance and efficiency. For the platforms’ first edition on ColorOS 13, the Computing Power Model and the Parallel Computing Engine have been implemented to help solve performance issues related to inefficient resource allocation and memory scheduling conflicts. The Computing Power Model: striking a balance between high performance and low power consumption Existing strategies for scheduling computing resources have often lacked a deep understanding of chip microarchitecture, so they fail to achieve the best balance in energy efficiency. To solve these problems, the ColorOS’s engineers underwent a three-year process to find the best method of allocating computing power that could achieve the optimal balance between high performance and low power consumption. Following analysis and simulation of millions of such scenarios data, the team ultimately developed a Computing Power Model capable of accurately scheduling CPU, GPU, and DDR computing resources at the instruction level. With the support of the Computing Power Model, whenever the phone needs to render a game environment or open a camera application, the CPU only needs to perform the role of an “assistant”, rather than dedicating the focus of its resources to this one task. This can avoid excessive resource requests and the need to repeatedly test resource allocation efficiency, reducing power consumption and extending battery life in the process. A look at data from the OPPO Find X5 Pro shows just how much the Computing Power Model can improve power efficiency. According to data from OPPO Lab, once upgraded to ColorOS 13, a Find X5 Pro can be used to communicate via WhatsApp for 19 hours, play PUBG for 9 hours, view YouTube videos for 22 hours, or take WhatsApp video calls for 8 hours. While these are unlikely scenarios for the everyday person, simulations also show that the average battery life of the Find X5 Pro can reach 34 hours during typically use. Parallel Computing: ensuring a smooth experience under heavy loads and multitasking Just as instruction level resource scheduling strikes a balance between performance and power consumption, parallel computing is a valuable tool in solving memory allocation conflicts. Android uses a serial memory allocation system that works on a first come, first served basis. However, given the complexity of real-life smartphone applications, this serial nature has significant drawbacks. For example, when the user suddenly needs to perform another high priority task, they may find that the phone’s memory is occupied by other processes and cannot be released in time. This resulting lag or freezing of the app is an all too familiar experience for most smartphone users, and one which might cause some to wonder why such a well-known problem has not yet been solved. One of the primary reasons is that these memory locks are caused by a phenomenon in the computer architecture called “lock contention”. In fact, research undertaken on ColorOS has shown that “lock contention” is responsible for as many as 30% of the lag or freezing issues encountered when using a smartphone. To get around this, ColorOS adopts an advanced microkernel design that executes key operations such as memory allocation and memory reclaim in parallel so that high priority tasks do not have to wait in line to have access to these resources. By splitting the locked memory into smaller blocks, CPU threads have to wait less time for the current thread to finish working on that specific block of memory, resulting in less lag or pause time. This improvement is critical to the smooth experience that ColorOS users will enjoy during multitasking, enabling them to open multiple apps at the same time and switch between them smoothly. A smoother experience in ColorOS 13 Thanks to the foundations provided by the Dynamic Computing Engine, ColorOS 13 delivers a whole variety of smoother and smarter experiences. When it comes to productivity, ColorOS 13 features an upgraded Multi-Screen Connect that now supports seamless connection between smartphones and OPPO Pad Air, and between smartphones and PCs. With the OPPO Share function, the upgraded Multi-Screen Connect also makes file transfer between devices faster and more convenient, providing support for transfer between OPPO smartphones and OPPO tablets, or OPPO smartphones to PC, without using any mobile data. Most major file types are supported, meaning you can seamlessly and quickly transfer documents and switch between smartphone, PC, or OPPO tablet depending on which device works best for any given task. In terms of interactive experience, ColorOS’s Quantum Animation Engine improves the realism of animated effects by adding extra details and an advanced physical motion model that makes interactions in ColorOS closely reflect the laws of physics. Following in-depth research and analysis of user feedback, the ColorOS team has optimized 61 motion effects and introduced Behavioral Prediction into Quantum Animation Engine. Behavioral Prediction can recognize and predict a user’s intended input when two touchscreen gestures are made one after the other. For example, when an app is opened and the user suddenly decides to open the second page to the right of the home screen, usually the user have to slide up from the bottom of the display and wait for the home screen to appear before swiping onto the second page. But if user swipe right after sliding up, ColorOS 13 will know the ultimate goal is to get to the second page and will take user directly there. This prevents conflict between the two operations and provides users with smoother, more intuitive interaction. Another feature in ColorOS 13 that minimizes power consumption through close integration of hardware and software is LTPO 2.0 technology. LTPO 2.0 can reduce the refresh rate of the Always-On Display to only 1Hz, leading to a reduction in power consumption of up to 30% in certain applications. This creates more possibilities for users to personalize their Always-On Display without having to worry about how it will impact the battery life of the phone. The Always-On Display in ColorOS 13 provides options to monitor daily smartphone usage with Insight Always-On Display or create a digital Bitmoji avatar that syncs up with their real self. The Smart Always-On Display can even be used to control Spotify music play or receive information on food delivery orders from apps such as Swiggy and Zomato without unlocking the screen. In terms of privacy and security, ColorOS 13’s Auto Pixelate can automatically blur profile pictures and usernames in chat screenshots using a device-side algorithm, allowing users to conveniently share screenshots of their conversations without worrying about their privacy. ColorOS 13 also includes an updated Private Safe feature that employs industry-standard AES file encryption to store files in a local private directory for enhanced security and privacy. OPPO will continue to evolve the Dynamic Computing Engine in future iterations of ColorOS to provide even more powerful support for other features and content. This includes the addition of the High-Performance Computing, Device-Cloud Collaborative Computing, and Intelligent Computing engines that will take the smooth and intelligent user experience of ColorOS to the next level.

From East And West: Asia Broadband’s Payment Gateway For The Future?

Asia Broadband, Inc.

The Bosphorus Bridge in Turkey was a marvel when it was completed in 1973. The largest suspension bridge outside of America at the time, it was also the first to cross the famed Dardanelles Strait and unite the continents of Europe and Asia. To this day known as the First Bridge in the city of Istanbul, this bridge is still a gateway between the East and the West, and it continues to capture the imagination with its promise of adventure and discovery. Asia Broadband Inc. (OTC: AABB) is launching a new gateway, one that it says will not just connect Europe and Asia but that will connect consumers and businesses to the future of digital payment. Asia Broadband, a resource company that primarily mines and sells precious metals, is developing its new product PayAABB, a digital crypto payment platform that will help facilitate the expanding financial options brought about by the rise of transactions in alternate currencies. The Gateway Integrating AABB’s Crypto Platform PayAABB is a product developed by Asia Broadband as part of its growing integrated crypto platform. A company already strongly established in the physical gold mining industry, Asia Broadband has now established itself in the crypto market. Over a year ago it launched its own crypto wallet — the AABB Wallet — to privately and securely store and transfer crypto. Other crypto platforms offering wallet options include those from Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) and Exodus Movement Inc. (OTC: EXOD). Concurrently with the wallet, it created the AABB Gold Token, gold-backed, mine-to-token crypto that seeks to bring gold into the crypto future while providing crypto, a notoriously volatile commodity, with the stability of gold by tying the minimum token value to the price of bullion. In January, it initiated a cryptocurrency exchange, the AABB Exchange, where crypto can be privately and securely traded. Asia Broadband describes its new product as engaging with the “future of payments.” Almost a quarter of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) now accept or are looking to accept crypto payments, according to a new survey, and this is part of a significant trend toward the digitalization of currency and payment. Asia Broadband is leading the charge into this new payment domain with its upcoming product PayAABB. As Asia Broadband’s next step in its integrated crypto platform, PayAABB is a digital means for customers to pay businesses in crypto. Available both on and offline, when launched the PayAABB gateway will sync all of Asia Broadband’s crypto products into a unified whole. Payments can be made in over 400 cryptocurrencies, and by using an automatic transfer through the AABB Exchange system, businesses will be able to accept payment as one stablecoin. PayAABB will offer customers significant payment flexibility. Payments can be made in a variety of ways, including over email or text messaging or QR code as well as through a social messenger or e-commerce site. The gateway will also be an attractive option for businesses, as it has no third-party fee, includes a high level of security including Google Authenticator and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate for encrypted transactions and features essentially irreversible transactions. PayAABB will also bolster Asia Broadband’s existing crypto products.

This Algorithmic Money Market System Might Be A Faster, Lower-Cost Way For Users To Lend, Borrow And Generate Yield On Their Crypto

Venus Protocol

BNB Chain is fast, low-cost and more widely used worldwide, with daily transaction volumes exceeding 2.866 million, more than double Ethereum’s 1.025 million. This is reportedly what allows Venus Protocol to offer faster, lower-cost transactions to people around the globe, possibly opening the door to DeFi to the next billion users. Venus is a lending and borrowing platform built on the Binance Smart Chain. Its goal is to enable “simple and powerful community-driven finance for the entire globe” by offering what it reports is a faster, lower-cost alternative to Ethereum-based money markets like Compound or Maker. It’s also adding new features that give users more ways to generate yield and participate in emerging decentralized finance markets. Following are a few of the things users can do on the Venus Protocol platform. What Users Can Do In The Venus Protocol’s Lending And Credit System When users supply cryptocurrencies to Venus, they can use those assets in three ways: Use the assets as collateral for a loan to borrow over 20 different cryptocurrencies. Supply liquidity to the Venus Protocol, earning an annual percentage yield (APY) in return. Mint VAI synthetic stablecoin Here Is A Quick Overview Of How Each Of Those Works For Users XVS Token Users can buy $XVS and generate yield by staking it in the Venus Protocol XVS vault to earn staking rewards. The XVS vault APR is set to a different daily emission speed each quarter depending on the previous quarter’s protocol income and the amount of XVS Tokens bought back from the market to be shared between stakers. — for example, the latest XVS vault rewards distribution is currently giving users a close to 25% annual percentage rate. The XVS Token is also the Venus Protocol Governance Token which is used to vote on the DAO’s Governance Proposals. (Venus Improvement Proposals) Taking Out A Loan Borrowers can borrow any of the supported cryptocurrencies or digital assets and stablecoins in exchange for pledging collateral. Borrowers are limited to borrowing a maximum ranging from 40% to f 80%, depending on the risk assessment for each asset and of the value of the collateral they’ve pledged. Going forward, the platform hopes to add under-collateralized loan capabilities. Venus Protocol reports that with no credit check and fast origination, borrowers can get the funding they need as soon as they need it — and with no monthly payment obligations and the ability to use the appreciation in the value of their collateral toward their loan balance, borrowers can make payments at any time. Earning Interest By Supplying Liquidity The variable APY earned for providing liquidity gives users another way to increase their yields without the risks associated with trading crypto. The protocol works on an algorithmic basis, meaning interest rates are set automatically based on the demand in a specific market. When demand is high in, say Bitcoin, the rates go up for that asset. While rates are variable, interest rates are based on the fluctuating demand for different currencies and rewards distributions can mean substantial yield — especially for those who stake the native Venus Governance token (XVS). Venus Protocol Is Built On BNB Smart Chain Decentralized financial platforms built on blockchains might be redefining the structure of money markets by removing the need for a central authority or third-party decision maker. This is lowering the barriers for borrowers and opens the door for more people to become lenders. However, many of the existing decentralized money markets are built on Ethereum, a costly and slow blockchain that comes with its own barriers to access in the form of high fees, and slow transactions — Ethereum takes 13 seconds to create a block compared to BNB chain’s three seconds — and lack of high market cap assets like Litecoin or XRP. Venus Protocol (“Venus”) is an algorithmic-based money market system designed to bring a complete decentralized finance-based lending and credit system onto Binance Smart Chain. Venus enables users to utilize their cryptocurrencies by supplying collateral to the network that may be borrowed by pledging over-collateralized cryptocurrencies. This creates a secure lending environment where the lender receives a compounded interest rate annually (APY) paid per block, while the borrower pays interest on the cryptocurrency borrowed. These interest rates are set by the protocol in a curve yield, where the rates are automated based on the demand of the specific market, such as Bitcoin. The difference of Venus from other money market protocols is the ability to use the collateral supplied to the market not only to borrow other assets but also to mint synthetic stablecoins with over-collateralized positions that protect the protocol. These synthetic stablecoins are not backed by a basket of fiat currencies but by a basket of cryptocurrencies. Venus utilizes the Binance Smart chain for fast, low-cost transactions while accessing a deep network of wrapped tokens and liquidity This post contains sponsored advertising content.
