Simple to Use
- Just click on the Burn button to launch a background process.
- Background processing requests are centrally managed by Autodesk® Backburner™ network processing manager, which allocates them to any Burn resources available on the network.
- On receiving a processing request, Burn automatically fetches the images it requires from Autodesk Stone Direct via the network for processing.
- Rendered results are automatically returned to the originating system.
Installation
- Burn can be installed on remote servers and render farms in a machine-room.
- Servers can be installed on GigE or InfiniBand™ networks.
- Requires no user interaction and has no user interface–its core function being exclusively to execute rendering tasks in the background.
- Supports processing on multiple Linux workstations, up to a maximum of 20 per originating system.
- Burn can be installed on any supported PC workstation configured with Linux Red Hat® Enterprise 4 update 2 with kernel 2.6.9-22 ELsmp.
- Requires Autodesk® Wire® functionality and Backburner network processing manager to operate.
- Wire is required for all systems except Autodesk Lustre.
Backburner
- Backburner network processing management software includes Server, Manager, and Monitor modules.
- Provides a single, central location for handling requests originating from multiple systems on the network.
- Upon receiving one or more processing requests, Backburner is responsible for prioritizing requests and allocating them appropriately to all available Burn systems on the network for efficient workload sharing and then dispatching the individual request to each Burn workstation.
- Backburner monitors the status of each request and notifies the originating system.
- Backburner is distributed with Burn.
- Backburner Manager can be installed on most PC workstations running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or XP, or Linux Red Hat Enterprise 4–no actual processing occurs on this station.
- Backburner Monitor can be accessed through a web browser from any platform and is integrated into Autodesk Editing and Effects 2007 systems.
