Abstract
A client-server computing system includes a server with a virtual display driver that marshals and transmits graphics application programming interface (API) functions to a client via a network. The virtual display driver includes a translation module that classifies graphics commands according to graphics library type and, if necessary, translates commands from one type to another such that the original command can be executed on the client. The translation module enables the server and the client to utilize different types of graphics libraries, such as the Direct3D API and the OpenGL API.
