At Wayne state we try to figure out how and if it is even possible to render a single image over multiple cpus of different PCs. The science department has an interest for this.
in case somebody here knows this subject and would open to answer some question could you get in touch with me via [email protected]?
You’re talking about a guard band, it needs to be as wide as the largest radius of all the neighboring-pixel operations, which may be less or more than one tile.
That’s of course possible, but then you need to also crop the resulting image differently from the setting in Blender.
The Grid currently has the combined processing power of 8,212 cores runs Rocks version 6.1 and CentOS 6. These resources are managed by Altair’s PBS Professional 12 job scheduler.
I log in via ssh and run a job script to submit work to the queue.
I have to ask the guys maintain this but to my understanding PBS launches Blender on each selected device and then quites it.
so one cannot Lauchen x amount of Blender and keep them in slave mode.
I have the feeling that just because of this blender cannot be used the same way as on renderframs that have blender as an engine installed. Or am I wrong?
