ABSTRACT:
The present invention presents systems and methods for running interactive applications such as video games remotely over broadband network by an interactive application host system. In accordance with the present invention, interactive applications such as video games can be hosted and executed remotely by one or multiple interactive application hosts in native mode or using emulation or other similar binary execution technique. An interactive application host system can use dedicated graphics rendering apparatus inter-connected with the interactive application host(s) for rendering or compressing frames of multiple interactive applications. A graphics rendering apparatus can cache the graphics data received from the interactive application host(s) and share graphics data among multiple instances of interactive application from the same interactive application host or from different interactive application hosts.
