Abstract: A computer system to track and enhance performance of a virtual workspace system is provided. The computer system receives requests to profile phases of a distributed process executed by hosts coupled to one another via a network. Each of phase includes operations executed by processes hosted by the hosts. Each of phase either starts with receipt of a request via a user interface of a virtualization client or ends with provision of a response to the request via the user interface. The computer system identifies event log entries that each include an identifier of an event marking a start or an end of one of the operations, constructs a performance profile based on the event log entries, and transmits the performance profile to the user interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for recommending content redirection are described herein. A remote computing device may establish a connection in which to transfer content between an application hosted on the remote computing device and a client device. The remote computing device may render graphics of a user interface for the application. If the remote computing device determines that to render the content of the application with use of one or more resources of the remote computing device would exceed a threshold, the remote computing device may provide, to the client device, the instructions enable the client device to render a portion of the content locally on the client device rather than on the remote computing device. In this way, the user's experience of the application may be improved without causing more computing resources on the remote computing device.

By switching between offset and non-offset state with appropriate image displayed, the resolution as observed by the users can be enhanced.
