Graphical memory sharing

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:
• instantiate a memory management process that is configured to communicate with one or more graphics processing hardware components to control usage of shared memory by multiple different application instances,
• wherein the memory management process:
• receives a request from at least one the application instances indicating that content associated with a specific resource implemented by the application instance is to be stored in the shared memory;
• determines that the content identified in the request has been previously stored at a specified location in the shared memory;
• identifies a time span during which the identified content stored in the shared memory will be immutable;
• and
• instructs the requesting application instance to access the identified content from the specified location in shared memory during the identified time span.

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:

• instantiate a memory management process that is configured to communicate with one or more graphics processing hardware components to control usage of shared memory by multiple different application instances,
• wherein the memory management process:
• receives a request from at least one the application instances indicating that content associated with a specific resource implemented by the application instance is to be stored in the shared memory;
• determines that the content identified in the request has been previously stored at a specified location in the shared memory;
• identifies a time span during which the identified content stored in the shared memory will be immutable;
• and
• instructs the requesting application instance to access the identified content from the specified location in shared memory during the identified time span.
