2. Cloud gaming, also known as gaming on demand or gaming-as-a-service (Gaas) or
game steaming, is a type of online gaming that runs video games on remote servers
and streams them directly to a user’s device, or more colloquially playing a game
remotely from a cloud. It contrasts with traditional means of gaming, where in a
game runs locally on a user’s video game console, personal computer, or mobile
device.
3. • Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data
storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user.
• Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each location being a data
center.
• Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and typically uses a "pay-
as-you-go" model, which can help in reducing capital expenses but may also lead to unexpected
operating expenses for users.

5. • Cloud gaming is also known as gaming on demand or gaming-as-a-service
(Gaas) or game steaming .
• Cloud gaming, in its simplest form, renders an interactive gaming application
remotely in the cloud and streams the scenes as a video sequence back to the
player over the Internet.
6.
7. • Game software is hosted in cloud server.
• User’s controls are transmitted to the cloud servers.
• Game logics are executed at the cloud servers, and game images are rendered.
• The rendered game images are then streamed back to the client.
8. PC OR CONSOLE GAMING
PROS
• One of the major reasons to choose traditional console gaming is game ownership.
• The exception of titles that require online connections or don’t contain the entirety of
their code on physical media, discs and cartridges you buy are yours to play forever.
• By building your own gaming PC you can choose where, when and how much you
want to invest in your computer.
9. CONS
• Games must be installed before they can be played, and if you’re downloading a big
title, this can take hours.
• Games get frequent updates and they can sometimes be nearly as large as the original
game file.
• Fully assembled gaming computers are more expensive than assembling the device
component by component.
10. CLOUD GAMING
PROS
• Cloud gaming eliminates the need to install games and content updates.
• Cloud gaming uses hardware in remote servers, meaning that your games’ resolution
or performance is not based on the device you’re using.
• These games support touch inputs as well as traditional controllers
11. CONS
• One of the major drawbacks to cloud gaming is the concept of game ownership.
• Depending on the service you select, cloud gaming can also limit the types of
games you can play.
• You are also at the mercy of your internet service provider when using a cloud
gaming service.

CLOUD GAMING FRAMEWORK
13. • A player’s commands must be sent over the Internet from its thin client to the cloud
gaming platform.
• Converted into appropiate in game-actions, which are interpreted by the game logic
into changes in the game world.
• The game world changes are then processed by the cloud system’s graphical
processing unit (GPU) into a rendered scene.
• The rendered scene must be compressed by the video encoder, and then sent to a
video streaming module, which delivers the video stream back to the thin client.
• Thin client decodes the video and displays the video frames to the players.
14. Majorly three ways, cloud gaming earns/can earn revenue:
• Subscription Model
Provide library of games for a monthly subscription fee
• Microtransactions in games
In game purchases of loot boxes and items.
• In game advertising
Render real-time digital ads inside game without compromising in gaming
experience or performance
15. • Those who cannot afford necessary devices.
• Those who already have devicesbut do not want to pay heavily on the games.
• Those mobile gamers whoo wants to upgrade to high quality PC gaming.
• Occasional gamers who want games and don’t want to invest in heavy hardware.
17. Some of the best cloud gaming service providers
18. • It will add more thin clients to campare the performance.
• It will design a generalizable experiment methodology for thin client
gaming with different game genres.
19. • Cloud gaming, a game changing technology.
• Efficient cloud can be achieved with the lastest hardware and virtualization technology
advances.
• Virtualization for GPU has greatly improved and is ready for gaming over a public
cloud.
• Only hardware encoders can achieve acceptable gaming performance.
• Cloud gaming is rapidly evolving, particularly toward the 4K UHD.
