Sure @Justin_B get that, and that’s very useful info.
My apologies if I should be posting this to some other topics and threads, but since I am new both to Deadline itself as well as these forums, a few quick questions:
-
For already submitted jobs - how do we edit its “Job Info Parameters” as well as its “Plugin Info Parameters”?
-
How can we edit the already submitted Gaffer job to add the “-threads 16” parameter to it? and how can we get the respective job’s execution also to pick it up and respect that flag for the actual command line execution?
-
Can we have the Job’s “Concurrent Tasks” be a dynamic or programmatically calculated value? For example, for the Deadline-Gaffer job, we want to drive this through the job’s submission parameter “-threads int” value. And hoping to implement it in a way like the one below:
where the goal is to send concurrent jobs on a Deadline worker(s) with heterogeneous cores of machines (which would be say a mix of 16,32,72 and 128 cores) - where the job’s requested rendering thread counts should assign multiple concurrent jobs to a deadline worker, where
-threads 16
on a 16 core worker - it should assign/run one job/task
on a 32 core worker - it should assign/run two concurrent jobs/tasks
on a 72 core worker - it should assign/run four concurrent jobs/tasks
on a 128 core worker - it should assign/run eight concurrent jobs/tasks
this is what I am exploring right now,
Thanks,
