Apparatus, computer-readable medium, and method for high-throughput screen sharing

An apparatus to implement screen sharing, the apparatus comprising:

• processor circuitry including one or more of:
• at least one of a central processing unit, a graphic processing unit or a digital signal processor, the at least one of the central processing unit, the graphic processing unit or the digital signal processor having control circuitry to control data movement within the processor circuitry, arithmetic and logic circuitry to perform one or more first operations corresponding to instructions, and one or more registers to store a result of the one or more first operations, the instructions in the apparatus;
• a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), the FPGA including logic gate circuitry, a plurality of configurable interconnections, and storage circuitry, the logic gate circuitry and interconnections to perform one or more second operations, the storage circuitry to store a result of the one or more second operations;
• or
• an Application Specific Integrate Circuitry (ASIC) including logic gate circuitry to perform one or more third operations;
• the processor circuitry to perform at least one of the one or more first operations, the one or more second operations or the one or more third operations to instantiate:
• host-viewer synchronizer circuitry to:
• determine whether a share mode to share visual data from a host machine to a viewer machine is in an application share mode to share application data associated with an application or in a desktop share mode to share one or more screen captures of an operating system desktop;
• track visual display arrangement information of an amount of the visual data on the host machine;
• display the amount of visual data on the viewer machine as one or more screen captures of the operating system desktop from the host machine by replicating a first amount of the tracked visual display arrangement information on the viewer machine in response to the share mode being in the desktop share mode;
• and
• display the amount of visual data on the viewer machine as the application data in an instance of the application by replicating a second amount of the tracked visual display arrangement information on the viewer machine in response to the share mode being in the application share mode.
