Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for graphic offloading based on a virtual machine monitor. A graphic offloading server device includes a virtual machine unit for performing graphics processing of three-dimensional (3D) graphics software, and a virtual machine monitor unit for transmitting graphics processing instructions of the 3D graphics software input from the virtual machine unit to a graphic offloading client device using a pass-through technique, so that the graphic offloading client device actually performs graphics processing of the 3D graphics software. The graphic offloading server device virtually performs graphics processing of the 3D graphics software in a desktop virtualization environment
