Rendering capacity

Deadline
1

hello,

we got a render farm.
and when we submit task from maya.
the 18 servers doing this job.
but using only 10GHz of the 288Ghz

how can i change that ?

Thank you,

There could be a couple reasons for this. The total utilization is just an estimate, and is based on information that is only collected ever 20-40 seconds for each slave, so it’s very possible that it’s not accurate (it’s just an estimation).

The other possibility is that Maya isn’t utilizing all the resources of each machine, and is therefore actually rendering below capacity. Which renderer are you using for Maya (mayaSoftware, mentalRay, etc)? If it’s mentalRay, check out this:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … an_I_do.3F

I believe this problem only occurs when setting the CPUs option to 0 for mentalRay, so bumping it up to 2 or 4 should help. This particular problem should be solved in the next release of Deadline.

thanks.

i changed in the renderjob the processor to use from 0 to 999
now the utilization is increased from 1% to 25%
