Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for buffer provision application (“BFA”) are described. The BPA may facilitate display of a guest application executing in a host operating system (“host OS”). The host OS may provide for execution of a guest application, such as through use of an emulator configured to emulate a guest OS environment. The BFA may provide a drawing buffer for use by the guest application. The drawing buffer may be caused to be allocated within the host OS by the BFA. The BFA may then cause the allocated buffer to be provided to the guest application so that the guest application may draw frame data directly to the drawing buffer. The BFA may then facilitate access to the drawing buffer by the host OS when compositing drawing buffer data with other drawing data of the host OS. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
