Abstract

Cloud Gaming is a service that allows its users to run games without installing them locally. The game applications run remotely on a machine in the cloud, having the graphical output of the game compressed and sent back to the user’s machine, where it is displayed. Within this paper, we explain how this technology works. We propose a cloud gaming platform solution, called InstantPlay, that we use to emphasize both advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Furthermore, we compare InstantPlay with a well known gaming platform, OnLive. Therefore, the scope of this paper is to explain the cloud gaming technology, present our implementation, and raise public awareness on this relatively new technology.
