Internet-based graphics application profile management system for updating graphic application profiles stored within the multi-GPU graphics rendering subsystems of client machines running graphics-based applications

摘要

A multi-user computer network, in which graphics performance of client machines running graphics-based applications is optimized using an automated Internet-based graphics application profile management system. The automated Internet-based graphics application profile management system includes an Internet-based communication server, operably connected to the infrastructure of the Internet, and to a central database server, through an application server. The central database server stores graphic application profiles (GAPs) for different graphics-based applications that are capable of running on the client machines. The graphics application profiles are stored in a profile database in the multi-GPU graphics rendering subsystem of each client machine. The Internet-based communication server communicates with each client machine over the Internet, and automatically programs updated graphics application profiles (GAPs) in the profile database of each client machine. This allows for the graphics performance of each client machine to be optimized during the run-time of the graphics-based applications.
