I am reaching out to the net here to see if I can help solve an IT problem.
The scenario:
I have a computer which is several years old running several applications. I need to add another application to this machine which happens to be processor intensive and through testing, crashes the unit every time. What I would like to try and accomplish is to run a second CPU with this processor intensive application on it, but make it so the application can be viewed/used etc, on the 1st machine. So in essence the 1st CPU/computer is running typical applications, the processor intensive application is running on a separate cpu/computer, but the application is viewable/useable on the 1st machine. Both computers must be within 20 feet of each other and must use a single monitor, keyboard mouse with without a KVM switch type system. So the application must be sort of virtualized from the 2nd CPU to the first.
I was thinking along the lines of desktop emulation or even better, application emulation. The thought of citrix rolled into my head but I am not sure they have anything that would work. We would have ethernet/usb and serial connections available between the two machines.
Any suggestions?
