Abstract
A method is described for processing commands for a client computing device using a remote graphics processing unit server. The method includes receiving, by a display driver of the client computing device, a command from an application operating on the client computing device and compressing, by the display driver, the command to generate a compressed command. Compressing the command includes determining whether a resource associated with the command is available in a cache of the remote graphics processing unit server and replacing the resource with a reference to the resource, when the resource is available. The display driver transmits the compressed command to the remote graphics processing unit server for processing by a remote graphics processing unit (GPU) and receives data generated by the remote GPU based on processing the compressed command.
