Evaluation of a Distributed Rendering Solution in the Computer Room of Universidad Icesi for the Industrial Design and Interactive Media Design Students

Abstract

This article presents the results of an evaluation made in the Univer­sidad Icesi to find solutions to the bottlenecks and long rendering times affecting the Design students while working with commercial design packages during their courses.

In particular, commercial render farm managers are evaluated, and a proof-of-concept render farm manag­er based in open source opportunistic computation software is developed.
