    childViews.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(slide,slide);
    childViews.layer.shadowOpacity = 1.0;
    childViews.layer.shadowRadius=10;
    childViews.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
    childViews.layer.shouldRasterize = YES;

Answer 1

Just check your app if its using too much memory instantly. Sometimes instant memory leads to backboard daemon's termination. As apple said to me. :-) This might be your app or your mac machine.

Answer 2

backboardd is the companion daemon for SpringBoard. "Terminating in response to backboardd's termination” most likely means that backboardd crashed. Check to see if there are any backboardd crash logs and, if present, file a bug report with Apple.
