Abstract

A device initiates a technical computing environment (TCE), and receives, via the TCE, a program command that permits the TCE to access a graphical processing unit that is remote to the device, where the program command permits the TCE to seamlessly transfer data to the remote GPU. The device transforms, via the TCE, the program command into a program command that is executable by the remote GPU, and provides the transformed program command to the remote GPU for execution. The device also receives, from the remote GPU, one or more results associated with execution of the transformed program command by the remote GPU, and utilizes the one or more results via the TCE.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, via a technical computing environment, a command to be executed by a device,
the receiving being performed by a computing device, and
the device being remote to the computing device;

transforming the command into a command that is executable by the device,
the transforming being performed by the computing device;

determining data associated with execution of the transformed command by the device,
the determining b…
