A virtual delivery appliance may communicate with a client device over a network to provide the client device with a virtualized session for a user. A processor may be configured to communicate with the client device over the network to perform a registration operation with a relying party. An application within the virtualized session may perform an authentication operation with the relying party to access a resource. The processor may be configured to forward an authentication challenge message to the client device in response to the application receiving the authentication challenge message from the relying party for the user to access the resource, and receive an authentication answer message in response to the authentication challenge message from the client device.

Virtual delivery appliance and system with remote authentication and related methods

Aspects described herein are directed to leveraging multiple graphics processors, by a virtual GPU manager, to optimize the rendering of graphics in either a desktop or virtual desktop environment. The virtual GPU manager may enumerate all available physical GPUs, query performance variables including processing capacity of each of the available physical GPUs, and classify each of the physical GPUs based on the queried performance variables. Further, the virtual GPU manager may generate a logical GPU corresponding to one or more of the available physical GPUs. The virtual GPU manager may distribute graphics rendering requests across each of the plurality of available physical GPUs by way of the logical GPU.

Graphical rendering using multiple graphics processors

Systems and methods that provide a hierarchical display to a user based on a position of the user's focus are described herein. The position of the user's focus may be determined by tracking, for example, a position of the user's eyes, a position of a mouse cursor within the display, a position of an application window within the display, or a combination thereof. Based on the position of the user's focus, the display may be divided into multiple display regions, and the display regions may be ranked, such as by prioritizing a display region that the user is focusing on. Display quality (e.g., transmission rate, image resolution, degree of image compression, etc.) of the display regions may be determined based on the rank of the display regions, thereby providing higher display/image quality to regions based on what the user is actively looking at.

Hierarchical display

Aspects herein describe at least a new method, system, and computer readable storage media for processing two-dimensional (2D) video into three-dimensional (3D) video and transmitting the 3D video from a host computing device to a client computing device. In one embodiment, the method comprises spatially scaling a segment of video when a structural similarity index is greater than a first threshold value and temporally scaling the segment of video when a rate of change of successive frames of the segment falls below a second threshold value. The method generates one of the segment, a spatially scaled segment, a temporally scaled segment, and a temporally and spatially scaled segment. The method further comprises multiplexing one of the segment, the spatially scaled segment, a temporally scaled segment, and a temporally/spatially scaled segment of the video in a second channel with the segment of the video in a first channel.

Adaptive stereoscopic 3D streaming

Methods and systems for using context data captured by a computing device to generate a virtual desktop display are described herein. The computing device along with a host device may form a remote access environment whereby a virtual machine is provided on the computing device. The computing device may capture the context data and identify contextual information. The host device may then generate content based on the contextual information and incorporate the content into composite screen display data configured to display a context aware virtual desktop screen. The composite screen display data is transmitted to the computing device, and thus, the computing device is provided with a context aware virtual desktop screen.
