  • a server digital data processor;

    a server graphics processing unit (GPU);

    a client digital data processor including one or more local processing resources, a display device and a main memory; and

    a server buffer accessible for processing by the server digital data processor, where the server buffer can be available for processing by the client digital data processor;

    a network, where the server digital data processor is in communications coupling with the client digital data processor over the network, where the client digital data processor executes an application residing on the main memory that generates one or more requests for rendering aspects of one or more images, at least one image including at least a first aspect and a second aspect;

    where the server digital data processor renders the first aspect of the at least one image and pastes the first aspect into the server buffer;

    where the client digital data processor renders the second aspect of the at least one image using the one or more local processing resources and adds the second aspect to the server buffer; and
