Hi guys, just want to set up a Beowulf for rendering.

I'm aware there are render farm managers such as Drqueue (which I'm also trying to install) but I want to set up a Beowulf so I can share CPU power, in other words - if I have a picture, I can get 2 computers to render it, i.e. adding up two computer's performance and rendering 1 single picture. (hope I'm not mistaken).

Anyone here have any ideas how to set up a Beowulf?

Like what software do I need?

I have a few computers at home so I thought I might put them to good use.

Many thanks in advance,



Chuong.
