NEC Virtual Multimedia PC

Posted by Charbax on 16th March 2007

NEC has a new technology to improve the thin client virtual PC system enabling dedicated multimedia decoding for Mpeg1, Mpeg2 and WMV on the thin client side. For now their solution costs 350$ for the thin client though they also need expensive virtual server machine. When this type of system will function with cheap desktop PC working as the host on the local network, and when it will cost 100$, this will be a great way to build lots of computers sharing centralized processing ressources. And maybe in the future the centralized processing will be located on the Internet on somekind of very powerfull grid systems, once the bandwidth will be 100mbit/s both ways with very low latency, this will become possible for all.
