RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO GAME TITLES IN A REMOTE GAMING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention monitor and dynamically allocate computing resources to a game service. A game service provides a remote gaming environments to which users connect over a wide area network, such as the internet. A game session runs a single instance of a game title. The game session runs the video game code responsible for creating the playing experience for the users. In another embodiment, the number of active game sessions is monitored and computing resources are allocated dynamically as the number of sessions increases or decreases.

主权项

1. One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computing device perform a method of allocating computing resources to a remote game service, the method comprising:
monitoring an amount of game sessions that are running in a game service, a game session executing code for a video game title and being accessed by remote game clients through one or more network connections; determining that the amount is more than a threshold number of game sessions; and dynamically allocating an additional computing resource to the game service.
