Abstract: A renderfarm monitoring system collects and aggregates comprehensive renderfarm information from a distributed scheduling system. Listener modules interface with dispatcher modules. The dispatcher modules queue jobs and tasks and request processing for those tasks in which the required input data is available. The listener modules receive streams of events from dispatcher modules indicating the status of all associated jobs and tasks. The listener modules also receive system status information from renderfarm and user computers. Renderfarm usage information, such as jobs, tasks, and system status, is aggregated by a database system. Client applications can access renderfarm usage information from the database system and use this information to monitor, analyze, visualize, and control renderfarm activities. Additionally, renderfarm usage information associated with tasks can be used to prioritize the jobs, improving overall renderfarm efficiency.
