PixelStorm: A Remote Display for Remote Sensing Ground Stations
PixelStorm is a software application for displaying native high-performance applications from remote cloud environments. It is tailored for remote sensing missions that require high framerates, high resolutions, and minimal loss of quality. PixelStorm utilizes hardware-accelerated video compression on graphics processing units and a Sandia-developed streaming network protocol. Using our architecture, we can demonstrate interactive native applications running across two 4K monitors at 60 frames per second while maintaining the visual fidelity required by our missions. This technology allows for the migration of mission critical desktop applications to cloud environments.
