    Abstract: Techniques for implementing 3DI API redirection for VDI desktops are provided. In one set of embodiments, a server system can intercept a call to a 3D API made by a 3D application running within a VM on the server system, where the VM hosts a desktop that is presented to a user of a client system. The server system can determine metadata associated with the call, where the metadata including a name of the 3D API and one or more input parameter values to the call, and can transmit the metadata to the client system. In response, the client system can reconstruct the call to the 3D API using the metadata and execute the call using one or more physical GPUs residing on the client system.

    Abstract: Various examples for providing multiple instances of a client application in operating systems that limit execution of the client application to a single process are disclosed. A client device can include an operating system natively configured to generate a single process for an execution of the client application on the client device. A client application can be configured to, in the single process, generate sub-processes for execution of separate instances of the client application. The client application can include at least one user interface that permits creation of, termination of, or toggling between various instances of the client application.
