    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 disclosure pertains to techniques for dynamically adapting image capturing techniques, e.g., based on shutter activation frequency, to improve camera responsiveness. One such technique is a method, comprising: receiving a first capture request 112; in response to receiving the first capture request 112, using a first capturing technique to capture a first set of images based on an image capture sequence 132, the image capture sequence 132 comprising one or more images 116, 118, 120; generating a first image based on the captured first set of images; receiving a second capture request 124 within a first time window 122 from the first capture request 112, wherein a duration of the first time window 122 is based, at least in part, on a length of time needed to capture the one or more images of the image capture sequence 132 using the first capturing technique; in response to the received second capture request 124, using a second capturing technique to capture a second set of images, wherein the second capturing technique is different from the first capturing technique; and generating a second image based on the captured second set of images.
