Draft and ConcurrentTasks parameter

Deprecated Draft Beta Discussion
#1

Hi.

I’m actually trying to speed up our EXR to DPX conversion script. Our wrangler told me that the concurrent tasks flag doesn’t seem to work as it works in other script (like Nuke or Maya render). There is always only one job running per render node. I searched my way and found that we hardcoded the flag to 8 in our submission script, but I don’t use it in my draft template. Am I supposed to manage this flag in the Draft template or is it in the Draft plugin that this flag is simply ignored. I know that originally, Draft didn’t manage the framesPerTask flags because it was principaly intended to create Quicktimes, which is an unsplittable job. Is it the same for the concurrent task flags?

We are using a very old Draft version (0.11.0.47662). The last time we tried to update, we jammed our production for half a day.

Thanks
Maxime

Hey Maxime,

I think the problem is that plugins by default do not allow concurrent tasks, and I forgot to add in the flag to allow it. If you open up to the ‘plugins/Draft/Draft.dlinit’ file in your repository, you should just need to add a line that says “ConcurrentTasks=True” and save it.

That should allow the Slaves to pick up more than one Draft task at a time. Let me know if that doesn’t fix it!

Cheers,

  • Jon

Hi

We tried your solution, but unfortunately, Draft still not detect our ConcurrentTasks flag. Do we have to manage something in the Draft Template, or in Draft.py?

#4

Could you double-check that the modification you made is still there? I know that slaves update from the main copy, and so I’m wondering if you modified the wrong copy, and it got overwritten?

#5

I just checked it. The line is still there. We also reboot our render nodes to check if it has something to do, but still no luck.

#6

Hmmm, that’s weird. I just tested it to make sure, and it works for me… Just to confirm, your submission script is properly setting the ChunkSize, so that the Draft job actually has multiple tasks to begin with, right? Or is that the problem?

Could you upload a copy of your Draft plugin and submission script? And which version of Deadline are you guys running, 5.2? Or are you on 6.0 now?

Cheers,

Hi.

We are using Deadline 5.1. For the submission script, I noticed that we have 2 scripts doing about the same thing. Probably one for the menu, and one for the right-click context menu. So here it is :

#8

So, any devellopment?

#9

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, but I just had a look at the submission scripts, and found what is likely the problem.

It seems you guys are writing the “ConcurrentTasks=8” to the wrong info file – it’s getting added as an argument passed to the Draft script, not as one of the Job parameters.

It should be moved to this section of the code (~30 lines up from where it is now):

writer.WriteLine( "ChunkSize=%s" % scriptDialog.GetValue( "ChunkSizeBox" ) ) writer.WriteLine( "OutputFilename0=%s\n" % scriptDialog.GetValue( "OutputBox" ) ) writer.WriteLine( "ConcurrentTasks=8\n")

I also noticed that in the standalone submitter (not the Job one), you guys are setting the Frame list to 0:

writer.WriteLine( "Frames=0" )

Concurrent tasks won’t do much good if there’s only one task (which would be the result of doing that). You’d want to set it to the proper selected frame range if you want multiple tasks (like you’re doing in the other script):

writer.WriteLine( "Frames=%s" % scriptDialog.GetValue( "FrameListBox" ) )
#10

Ok, thanks. I will give it a try today.

Thank you very much
Maxime
