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 with metering technique for distributed computing

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.
