Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes establishing, by a host server running an application, a connection to a client device; obtaining, based on an identifier of the client device, a profile of the client device comprising an identifier of a local device that was associated with the client device during a prior connection of the client device to the host server; and causing, based on the identifier of the local device, a driver for the local device to be available for execution on the host server, wherein the driver for the local device is to convert data between a data format accessible to the application and a data format accessible to the local device.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes accessing a plurality of target tasks for a computing system, the computing system comprising a plurality of resources, wherein the plurality of resources comprises a first server and a second server, accessing a plurality of configurations of the computing system, wherein each of the plurality of configurations identifies one or more resources of the plurality of resources to perform the respective target task of the plurality of target tasks, and performing, for each of the plurality of configurations, a simulation to determine a plurality of performance metrics, wherein each of the plurality of performance metrics predicts performance of at least one of the plurality of resources executing the plurality of target tasks on the computing system.

Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method that includes establishing connections between a host server and client devices associated with one or more local devices, receiving from the client devices configuration requests to configure, on the host server, drivers for the local devices to convert data between a data format accessible to the local devices and a data format accessible to applications provided to the client devices by the host server, identifying execution priority of the client devices, identifying a first group of configuration requests and a second group of configuration requests, executing, in order of decreased priority of client devices, the first group of configuration requests until an occurrence of a restart condition, and responsive to the occurrence of the restart condition, executing the second group of configuration requests.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to the field of distributed system server administration, and more specifically, to systems and methods for load balancing server infrastructure and improving the performance of peer-to-peer connections between computing devices.
