Graphics processing unit (GPU) command streaming

A system comprising:

• at least one physical processor;
• and
• physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
• access one or more media frame generation input events produced as part of a multimedia application on a media server;
• select at least one media frame that is to be rendered according to the one or more media frame generation input events;
• determine one or more graphics processing capabilities of a client device on which the selected media frame is to be rendered;
• generate, for execution on the client device, a render command for the selected media frame based on the determined graphics processing capabilities of the client device, wherein the render command includes contextual graphics information regarding the selected media frame and graphics processing unit (GPU) pipeline information for use in rendering the selected media frame on the client device;
• and
• transmit the generated render command to a client engine running on the client device to initiate rendering of the selected media frame using the contextual graphics information and the GPU pipeline information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• access one or more media frame generation input events produced as part of a multimedia application on a media server;
• select at least one media frame that is to be rendered according to the one or more media frame generation input events;
• determine one or more graphics processing capabilities of a client device on which the selected media frame is to be rendered;
• generate, for execution on the client device, a render command for the selected media frame based on the determined graphics processing capabilities of the client device, wherein the render command includes contextual graphics information regarding the selected media frame and graphics processing unit (GPU) pipeline information for use in rendering the selected media frame on the client device;
• and
• transmit the generated render command to a client engine running on the client device to initiate rendering of the selected media frame using the contextual graphics information and the GPU pipeline information.
