Nvidia received 1 granted patent in Cloud Gaming.
The patent covers a cloud-based shader cache system that allows GPU compilation work performed by one player to benefit all players globally. This approach reduces load times in cloud gaming environments by sharing shader compilation results across users.
NVIDIA's single cloud gaming patent tackles the problem of redundant shader compilation across large player bases. Rather than requiring each device to compile shaders independently when launching a game, the system stores compiled results in a centralized cloud repository. When one player's GPU compiles a shader, that work gets indexed using state-data hashes and becomes immediately available to any other player running the same application. This shared approach eliminates duplicate compilation effort across heterogeneous client configurations, allowing players to benefit from the computational work already performed by others in the global user base.
