Abstract
A method for allowing a number of split-screens to share a display on a client device beyond an application's native capacity for split-screening, includes determining configuration parameters for the client device, establishing a plurality of application instances to be initialized based on the number of split-screens and the application's native capacity for split-screening, initializing one or more virtual machine servers to service the plurality of application instances, optimizing display output parameters for each application instance based at least in part on the configuration parameters for the client device, and outputting display from each application instance to the client device, such that the display output from each application instance shares the display on the client device.
