Abstract: Techniques are described for virtual desktop sharing and collaboration by utilizing image scanning and a web server. Upon launch, the virtual desktop client sets up a web server on the client computing device. During a virtual desktop session, the owner of the session provides input indicating that the session should be shared. A QR code is displayed on the client device which is encoded with information identifying the web server. When the QR code is scanned by a collaborator's mobile device, a web browser is launched on the mobile device and the web browser connects to the web server on the client computing device. The connection is used to transmit the request to access the virtual desktop session by the mobile device. If the session owner approves the request, the virtual desktop GUI data is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the mobile device over the HTTP connection.

Abstract: Techniques are described for extending virtual desktops across different devices. The virtual desktop client sets up a web server on a primary device. A QR code encoded with information identifying the web server is displayed on the primary device and is scanned by a secondary device. A web browser is launched on the secondary device and the web browser connects to the web server on the primary device. The virtual desktop is reconfigured to produce its GUI on two monitors, one for the primary device and one for the secondary device. The GUI data for the second monitor is streamed by the virtual desktop client to the secondary device over the HTTPS connection, to be displayed on the secondary device. GUI data for the first monitor is displayed on the primary device. Inputs are streamed from the secondary device to the primary device and are forwarded to the virtual desktop.

Abstract: Techniques are described for file/folder redirection for virtual desktops using image scanning. A virtual desktop client establishes a web server on the client computing device. The virtual desktop client detects input requesting file/folder redirection and displays a QR code encoded with the IP address of the web server. A mobile device scans the QR code using a digital camera and launches a web browser to establish a connection with the web server. User input is entered on the mobile device, indicating one or more files/folders to be shared with the virtual desktop. The information identifying the selected files/folders is sent to the client computing device. The selected files/folders are registered with the virtual desktop and the virtual desktop locally mounts a corresponding folder. The client computing device receives file I/O operations from the virtual desktop and redirects the file I/O operations to the mobile device over a secured HTTP connection.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for splitting shaders. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: receiving a request for compilation of a shader in a graphics processing environment; determining whether there is sufficient work associated with the shader to justify splitting the shader into two or more blocks of program code; evaluating the program code of the shader to identify dependencies between the blocks of program code if there is sufficient work; subdividing the shader into the two or more blocks in accordance with the identified dependencies; and individually executing the two or more blocks of code on a graphics processor. In addition, one embodiment includes the operations of determining whether any of the regions that can be subdivided are likely to run faster with different machine configurations than if the shader is executed without being subdivided, and subdividing the shader only for those regions that are likely to run faster with different machine configurations.
