Abstract

An apparatus and method for performing efficient sharing of network-based resources. In various implementations, a computing system includes a remote server providing a streaming service to a client computing device over a network. The remote servers include shared resources that provide services and content on the client computing device. When executing instructions of a shared layer of a graphics library, the circuitry of a parallel data processing circuit of the remote server searches for any instances sharing the image object. If there are any instances sharing the image object, then the circuitry maintains the image object stored in a first location of the local shared memory. The circuitry performs a copy on write operation using a local non-shared memory to generate the copy of the first image object in a second location different from the first location of the local shared memory.
