Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments

In computing, SPICE (the Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments) is a remote-display system built for virtual environments which allows users to view a computing "desktop" environment – not only on its computer-server machine, but also from anywhere on the Internet – using a wide variety of machine architectures.

This article is about the remote desktop protocol. For other uses, see Spice (disambiguation).
