Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for transmitting data rendered on a primary computer to a secondary computer. The method includes transmitting to GPU graphics processing commands received from a graphics application, where the graphics processing commands are configured to cause the GPU to render a first set of graphics data, determining that graphics data should be collected for transmission to the secondary computer, conveying to the GPU that the first set of graphics data should be stored in a first buffer within a frame buffer memory, transmitting to the GPU graphics processing commands received from a process application executing on the primary computer, where the graphics processing commands are configured to cause the GPU to perform operations on the first set of graphics data to generate a second set of graphics data, and transmitting the second set of graphics data to the secondary computer.
