Efficient image transmission

A method, comprising:

• a first computer system performing a first portion of an image rendering process to render an image to be displayed;
• and
• the first computer system sending, to a second computer system, a result from performance of the first portion of the image rendering process, wherein the second computer system is configured to operate on the result in performance of a second portion of the image rendering process.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that are executable by a server system to cause the server system to perform operations comprising:

• generating a result by performing of a first set of operations associated with an image rendering process to render an image to be displayed;
• and
• sending the result to a client device configured to operate on the result in performance of a second set of operations associated with the image rendering process.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that are executable by a first computer system to cause the first computer system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a second computer system, a result from a performance of a first portion of an image rendering process to render an image to be displayed, wherein the second computer system is configured to perform the first portion;
• and
• performing a second portion of the image rendering process by operating on the result from the performance of the first portion of the image rendering process.
