Background Rendering Components
The components of the basic background rendering package include Lustre,
a background management and monitoring application (such as Backburner
™
Web Monitor, or the Backburner Monitor in Autodesk WiretapCentral
™
), and
several render nodes running on Linux servers.The Lustre system and all
background rendering nodes are connected over a dedicated background
TCP/IP network. Render nodes can access media through NFS mount points,
or by using the faster BrowseD service. Using BrowseD is the recommended
approach. See About BrowseD (page 93).
The background rendering components are illustrated as follows.
NOTE You can have up to eight render nodes on the background rendering
network.
The other background rendering components are described as follows.
This is the client application. Running on a Linux
workstation, Lustre rendering jobs are submitted for
Lustre
application
background rendering through the Render | Backburner
menu.
