GSoC 2024: Improve Distributed Rendering & Task Execution

Week 6
July 1 — July 5

This week I submitted another two PRs for review, one for the frontend and one for the backend. With a new initial_status field in the job description, users are now able to submit jobs in paused status, where previously all jobs had to be queued.

We had a weekly meeting with Sybren, who got more information from Sergey for how we should go about implementing distributed rendering of single images. I’ll first do some experiments with manually rendering and merging single images to verify if the approach works out. Some glitches with denoising are expected, as we don’t have sufficient information from Cycles yet, which would be complete in the future.
