Abstract: A device for processing graphics data includes a plurality of graphics processing units. Each graphics processing unit may correspond to a virtualized operating system. Each graphics processing unit may include a configuration register indicating a 3D class code and a command register indicating that I/O cycle decoding is disabled. The device may be configured to transmit a configuration register value to a virtualized operating system indicating a VGA-compatible class code. The device may be configured to transmit a command register value to the virtualized operating system that indicates that I/O cycle decoding is enabled. In this manner, legacy bus architecture of the device may not limit the number of graphics processing units deployed in the device.

Abstract: The server based graphics processing techniques, describer herein, include loading a given instance of a guest shim layer and loading a given instance of a guest display device interface that calls back into the given instance of the guest shim layer, in response to loading the given instance of the guest shim layer, wherein the guest shim layer and the guest display device interface are executing under control of a virtual machine guest operating system. The given instance of the shim layer requests a communication channel between the given instance of the guest shim layer and a host-guest communication manager (D3D HGCM) service module from a host-guest communication manager (HGCM). In response to the request for the communication channel loading, the D3D HGCM service module is loaded and a communication channel between the given instance of the shim layer and the D3D HGCM service module is created by the HGCM. The given instance of the shim layer maps the graphics buffer memory space of a host D3D DDI binary executing under control of a host operating system. Thereafter, function calls are sent from the given instance of the guest shim layer through the communication channel to the D3D HGCM service module utilizing the graphics buffer memory space mapping.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses, systems, and techniques of offloading shader program compilation at a computing system. A detection is made that a set of shader programs are to be compiled for an application executing at a computing system using a first set of processing devices. A second set of processing devices to compile the set of shader programs is identified. Each of the second set of processing devices is different from any processing device of the first set of processing devices. The set of shader programs is provided for compilation using the second set of processing devices in view of state data associated with the computing system to obtain a set of complied shader programs. The set of compiled shader programs is executed using the first set of processing devices.

Abstract: A method for remotely provisioning resources for running a computer application is described. The method includes: receiving a request to execute a computer application using a virtual machine, the computer application having a static video portion and a user interactive video portion; while preparing the user interactive video portion, providing the static video portion to a user device remotely positioned relative to a server hosting the virtual machine; and streaming the user interactive video portion to the user device at an end of the static video portion. A start time of the static video portion is adjusted to accommodate a display time of the static video portion being different than a time required to prepare the user interactive video portion. A server and a system that are capable of performing the above method are also described.

Abstract: Novel solutions are provided for consistent Quality of Service in cloud gaming system that adaptively and dynamically compensate for poor network conditions by moderating rendered frame rates using frame rate capping to optimize for network latency savings (or surplus). In further embodiments, the encoding/sent frame rate to the client can also be managed in addition, or as an alternative to capping the rendered frame rates. The claimed embodiments not only maintain a constant Quality of Service (QoS) for the user, but may also be employed to leverage higher-performing networks to reduce operational costs.
