  14. virtual display architecture • high performance remote display • transparent operation

  15. system architecture • display protocol • translation • delivery

  16. system architecture

  17. applications window system device driver framebuffer

  18. applications high-level requests window system device driver framebuffer interception and redirection • stateful client hurts mobility • app – window system synchronization

  19. applications high-level requests window system device driver raw pixels framebuffer interception and redirection • lose semantics: difficult to encode • Bandwidth intensive

  25. display protocol Inspired by Sun Ray protocol 2D Primitives • copy • solid and tile fill • bitmap fill • raw

  26. two key problems how do we translate from application commands to the display protocol? how and when do we send display updates?

  27. use and preserve semantic information for efficient translation translation

  28. translation • use semantic information when doing translation

  29. req: fill window W, color C window system req: fill [x,y,w,h] color C THINC update: solid fill [x,y,w,h] color C use request semantics to generate update

  30. translation • use semantic information when doing translation • preserve semantic information throughout the system

  31. display draw copy offscreen regions preserving semantics: offscreen rendering

  32. offscreen region command log merge, clip, and discard commands as needed offscreen rendering (cont)

  33. using and preserving semantics: video • reuse existing hardware acceleration application interfaces • YUV (luminance-chrominance) color space • format independence • client hardware acceleration (scaling for free)

  34. maximize interactive response of the system delivery

  35. delivery • transmit updates as soon as possible • merge, clip, and discard updates as needed

  36. real time client buffer queue 1 ... C3 C2 C1 Cn ... cmdsize queue p shortest remaining size first scheduler

  37. implementation • X/Linux server • ongoing: windows server • X/Linux, windows, PDA, Java clients

  38. experimental results • web and video performance • comparison to existing systems • Internet 2 sites around the globe

  46. conclusions THINC: • virtual display architecture transparently leverages existing display infrastructure • efficient translation by using and preserving semantic information from display request • delivery mechanisms increase responsiveness of the system
