GRAPHICS REMOTING ARCHITECTURE

Systems and methods to implement a graphics remoting architecture for rendering graphics images at remote clients are disclosed. In one implementation, when a D3D application hosted on a remote server is used by a remote client, the graphics associated with the D3D application are created and rendered at the remote client. For this, the D3D commands and D3D objects corresponding to the graphics are abstracted into data streams at the remote server. The data streams are then sent to the remote client. At the remote client, the D3D commands and D3D objects are extracted from the data streams and executed to create the graphics images. The graphics images are then rendered and displayed using output devices at the remote client.
