Hey, I posted here a while back about my render farm software plow. We just finished scale tests with 12,000 running processes!

Github

Just starting to do documentation now.
http://www.plowrender.com/

Some new features:

  • Pipelining dispatcher handles dishing out hundreds of tasks per second.
  • Create post jobs that run after a job finishes, even if its killed by artist.
  • Maintains long term history and statistics on all jobs.
  • Started work on command line tools.
  • Lots of GUI enhancements and additions, like customizable layouts.
  • High performance client library using c-python bindings on top of thrift c++ library.
