(aka weight) … but is that “I can not get to hold” so interesting news about Blender. Where before he short, supercomputing speak now … but with Blender by:)

Who is using Blender on a supercomputer? Nothing more and nothing less than ORNL … yeah man, yeah, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, those who have Jaguar supercomputer , that of +200 thousand (224,162) cores. Now you know who I mean, right? For these people, ORNL, have a bug with 224,162 cores and is ranked the third most powerful machine in the world and runs Linux operating system .

can see by comparing the size of the machine. Here larger image:)

The thing is that there are some awards that are called Oscars (no, not the movie, these are the: Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research ) and simulations (and videos) made on Jaguar have obtained 3 Oscars. Mike Mathson words of OLCF (Oak Ridge Laboratory Computing Facility):

Blender runs on the Linux Supercomputer Which is based. At least, MOST of the renderer does – we do not build the engine or game player or we do not use features. [...] We use Maya / MentalRay as well Because of license restrictions But We Can never match the sheer horsepower That We Can Employ with Blender. So really our unique situation Blender Makes a great tool for us. The most cores [...] That I can think of is simultaneously using Probably around 7500-8000. [...]

The most Demanding

use of Blender We have presentations on Everest is for. Everest is a 35 MPixel powerwall and we do render a select FEW At This resolution animations Which is 17x HD Than High resolution (1920 × 1080). These frames are absolutely brutal and home and rendering artifact Will Be visible so it Takes a lot of care in Creating Them. These frames take a long time to render and this is the sole use case Where We Have Used Many nodes to render single frames – although we still Will Usually just 1 frame per render node. If we are doing stereo – double the effort.

Blender runs on the supercomputer that is Linux. At least most of it render nodes are – do not compile the player or the game engine or things that do not use. [...] We use Maya / Mental Ray too, but due to licensing restrictions, we can not equate the power we can use Blender . So our situation only makes Blender is a great tool for us. [...] The maximum number of cores we have used simultaneously to my knowledge is 7500 – 8000 cores. [...]

Using Blender

more power is required when using Everest for presentations. Everest is a powerwall of 35 MPixel and If you render an animation to this resolution is 17 times greater than HD (1920 × 1080) . These frames are brutal and each artifact will be visible during rendering so you need to take great care in creating them. These frames take too long to render and is the only case in which we use many nodes to render a single frame – though as a rule use a node-by-frame. If we make stereo – we bow our needs.
