Powerful rasterization libraries like Skia, CoreGraphics, and Direct2D put exceptional effort into drawing, blending, and rendering efficiently. Yet applications are still hindered by the inefficient sequences of operations that they ask these libraries to perform. Even Google Chrome, a highly optimized program co-developed with the Skia rasterization library, still produces inefficient instruction sequences even on the top 100 most visited websites. The underlying reason for this inefficiency is that rasterization libraries have complex semantics and opaque and non-obvious execution models. To address this issue, we introduce $\mu$Skia, a formal semantics for the Skia 2D graphics library, and mechanize this semantics in Lean.…
