Abstract: Techniques for improved command level remoting are disclosed. In embodiments of the invention, commands to generate vertices are sent in a terminal service session. As commands to draw vertices are generated by a server to be sent to a client to display, they are analyzed by the server. Where some of those vertices have been previously sent to the client, such as to generate a previous bitmap image, the server determines not to send those vertices to the client, and sends the client the new vertices.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable storage media are disclosed for accelerating bitmap remoting by extracting patterns from source bitmaps. A server takes a source image, and performs an edge-detection operation on it. From this edge-detected image, connected segments of the image are determined by executing multiple iterations of a small operation upon the image in parallel—for instance, by assigning each non-white pixel a unique value, then assigning each pixel the minimum value among itself and its neighbors until no pixel is assigned a new value in an iteration. Executing these operations in parallel greatly reduces the time required to identify the connected segments. When the segments are identified, they may be cached by the client so that they do not need to be re-sent to the client when re-encountered by the server.

Abstract: Synchronized access to a shared surface from multiple rendering contexts is provided. Only one rendering context is allowed to access a shared surface at a given time to read from and write to the surface. Other non-owning rendering contexts are prevented from accessing and rendering to the shared surface while the surface is currently owned by another rendering context. A non-owning rendering context makes an acquire call and waits for the surface to be released. When the currently owning rendering context finishes rendering to the shared surface, it release the surface. The rendering context that made the acquire call then acquires access and renders to the shared surface.

Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for sending a client graphics data across a remote session for an application, where the application makes fixed function pipeline API calls and the client and server support shader pipeline API calls for the remote session. fixed function pipeline graphics calls from sent from the application are intercepted, wrapped, converted into their fixed function pipeline equivalent graphics call or calls and then sent across the communications network to the client according to a protocol of the remote session.
