This client-server system partitions Windows applications into multi-media and other less-observable instructions such that client may run audio/visual-related commands remotely, thereby enabling an application appearance to client-user as when application were run solely by a single machine. Clients may access applications through web-sites or remote access servers. Client requests may be atomized such that instruction set sub-sets are partitioned correspondingly. Operating system parameters on which application is run may be accessed selectably. Server may centralize administration and provide metering of application usage.

Client-server application partitioning having metering technique for distributed computing

Content subscribers can dynamically activate content and content publishing resources that are distributed on a network. A content request from the content subscriber can engage a content locator in determining an appropriate content publisher to activate the content. Once the appropriate content publisher is found, the content publisher activates the content by presenting appropriate content publishing resources. Optionally, two more content publishers cooperate together to activate the requested content. Licenses to the content and content publishing resources are monitored to ensure that content publishers are compensated. System components, such as content subscribers, content locators, content publishers, are auto-configured during initial registration and dynamically updated if configuration parameters change. Optionally, a performance driver changes various configuration parameters of system components to ensure a desired performance during content activation.

Dynamic configuration of a content publisher

Content subscribers can dynamically activate content and content publishing resources that are distributed on a network by locating, coordinating and presenting content publishing resources such that content publisher can create or change content.

Networked processors application provide and operating system in one machine, application proxy and operating system on another machine, and virtualized input or output coupling to operating system of the another machine. Client responds to applied input and executes application proxy to apply output, while server executes application, and proxy interface sends applied input to server so server executes application per applied input and generates applied output. Proxy interface sends generated output for virtual display by client.
