Example of an Expanded Distributed Processing Network

For rendering, a network might include a number of client computers on a LAN, connected

to a cluster using a high-speed switch. A rack of servers plus a shared storage device,

acting as the cluster, would be an extremely strong rendering engine. The service nodes

would each have a local copy of the relevant client application software so that they

could process the rendering jobs.

Sample Setup for Part-Time Processing on Desktop Computers

This section takes you through the basic steps involved in a sample setup for “part-time”

distributed processing. You can use it to get an idea of the kind of distributed processing

environment you want to create, and as a guide in setting up that environment.
