Recommendations

Measuring thin-client performance using slow-motion benchmarking

Modern thin-client systems are designed to provide the same graphical interfaces and applications available on traditional desktop computers while centralizing administration and allowing more efficient use of computing resources. Despite the rapidly ...
On the performance of wide-area thin-client computing

While many application service providers have proposed using thin-client computing to deliver computational services over the Internet, little work has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of thin-client computing in a wide-area network. To assess ...
Experiences with client-based speculative remote display
ATC'08: USENIX 2008 Annual Technical Conference

We propose an approach to remote display systems in which the client predicts the screen update events that the server will send and applies them to the screen immediately, thus eliminating the network round-trip time and making the system more ...
