Job machine limits

Deadline
1

Hey,

I was curious how one would set all new jobs that enter the farm to receive a machine limit (“Number of machines that can render this job concurrently”)? We have a limited amount of machines and would like to automatically distribute the load across all machines rather than having one job render at a time by default. Currently this is being set very high and is preventing other jobs that render quickly from picking up. I’ve gone through the repository options and I haven’t been able to find a setting for this.

Thanks,

Hello,

I don’t believe there is a way, but I will check with the devs to see if there is some way I am not aware of to get this done.

you could set up pools to distribute the jobs. so if you had 5 users you could define that the order of the users was user1, all and user2, all etc then people could submit to ‘all’ or to the pool corresponding to their job
