Faster frame buffer rendering over a network

In a client information handling system (IHS), a processor-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a first event corresponding to a first interaction which is used to initiate access to a graphical user interface (GUI) located at a remote device having one or more application GUIs;
• requesting, from the remote device, GUI frame buffer data corresponding to the first event;
• receiving GUI frame buffer data and a first set of GUI change data in response to requesting the GUI frame buffer data, the first set of GUI change data corresponding to GUI changes that can be initiated by interaction with a locally-rendered GUI corresponding to the target GUI;
• in response to receiving the GUI frame buffer data, provides, using the GUI frame buffer data, a first locally-rendered GUI corresponding to the target GUI;
• and
• in response to receiving the first set of GUI change data, stores the first set of change data in local storage to enable local servicing of frame buffer data to support GUI changes which can occur as a result of subsequent interactions with the locally rendered GUI of the client IHS.

An information handling system comprising:

• a controller having:
• memory which includes a frame buffer module;
• a processor coupled to memory;
• a storage which includes frame buffer data for one or more application GUIs;
• wherein the processor executes the frame buffer module to enable the controller to:
• establish a multi-client session with a number of clients;
• query the clients to determine whether each respective client supports frame buffer rendering via a local client storage;
• transmit GUI frame buffer data and GUI change data to a first set of clients that support frame buffer rendering via the local client storage of a respective client;
• and
• transmit only GUI frame buffer data to a second set of clients that do not support frame buffer rendering via a local client storage.
