About
Tapestry-Cloud Technology
Tapestry-Cloud’s command streaming or client-side rendering technology delivers a cost-efficient solution to cloud rendering. By deploying the GPU on a device such as a mobile phone, laptop, desktop, tablet, and even a Smart TV, expensive GPUs on the server are not used.
- Designed to be easily adapted to use cases.
- X86 and ARM, clients and servers, are supported. Clients and servers may be of different architectures.
- Docker, LXC containers and other containerization models are supported.
- May be run on public, private and hybrid clouds.
Source code for adaptation and customization is included in licensing agreements.
How Does Tapestry-Cloud Work?
Features
Command Streaming
Powerful and flexible technology to create bespoke client-side remote rendering systems, or command streams. As in a tapestry created with colored weft threads, so the wefts of Tapestry-Cloud create infinite patterns.
Design Flexibility
With Tapestry-Cloud, each weft component modifies the behavior of a specific API. A very flexible high-level descriptive language for wefts modifies the behavior of APIs. The interactions between wefts offer design flexibility.
Powerful Wefts
- Adapt to different versions of OpenGL, such as OpenGL ES 2.x, 3.x and OpenGL 4.x
- Add new APIs to both server and clients.
- Dynamically modify:
- Server-side behavior of specific APIs
- Client-side behavior of specific APIs
- Debug both server and client within the weft
Remote Streaming Protocol
- Allows OpenGL server context-threads mapped to client context-threads
- Effectively compresses and decompresses the streaming protocol
- Caches server resources for efficient compression.
- Rendering streams may be:
- single-cast
- multi-cast
- broad-cast
Tested POCs
- WebGL: Clients and servers
- Remote SurfaceRenderer for Android
- Remote Composition for multiple remote surfaces
- Remote Input that is flexible, low latency
POC in Progress
- Android 12 server-client with Cuttlefish for containerization
Adaptable Use Cases
Cloud gaming
- No GPUs on the server
- Low bandwidth
Android applications
- No need to install apps
- Client does not need to run Android
High security enterprise applications
- Program logic and data are contained on the serve
Automated testing
- No GPUs on the server
- Rendering stream allows graphical reconstruction
WebGL browser clients
- Simple set up
- Cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility
