Start-up performance improvement for remote application

Abstract:

A method for remotely provisioning resources for running a computer application is described. The method includes: receiving a request to execute a computer application using a virtual machine, the computer application having a static video portion and a user interactive video portion; while preparing the user interactive video portion, providing the static video portion to a user device remotely positioned relative to a server hosting the virtual machine; and streaming the user interactive video portion to the user device at an end of the static video portion. A start time of the static video portion is adjusted to accommodate a display time of the static video portion being different than a time required to prepare the user interactive video portion. A server and a system that are capable of performing the above method are also described.
