@spacepxl Год назад

Similar here, we have a big mix of systems that were built at different times, but most of the artist workstations are single xeon + Quadro with a ton of RAM. Render farm is some of those, including idle workstations, and a smaller number of beefier systems for the really heavy renders and sims. Realistically, most renders can be completed on a normal workstation in a reasonable amount of time, so the path to speed is parallelization, not faster individual systems. Some of the fastest servers are actually split into multiple virtual render nodes to run multiple renders in parallel (especially for 2d comp renders) As they noticed here in some of the benchmarks, startup time can take longer than the render time on a very powerful system, as it can't be scaled across very large numbers of cores as effectively as the sampling process. So beyond a certain point, it's faster to stack multiple renders than it is to dedicate the whole machine to a single render at a time.

@kevinmarsh8835 Год назад

Stacking radiators doesn't work because at some point the air temperature in the stack equalizes with the water temperature. Especially if the radiators are running in serial. These 3 appear to be running in parallel so the water temp won't drop off and those fans are probably in the 3000 rpm range which means there is so much airflow screaming through the radiators that the air has no chance to get heat soaked.

In Animation, when dealing with these kinds of rendering speeds you'd probably want to optimize the scene and make sure that the 3D assets are cached in memory, so they don't need to be loaded again and again for every single frame. Once the assets are loaded and cached, you I only need to wait for the actual rendering to finish, so even the 60s gooseberry render would drop to 15sec l

reload per frame ? is it that badly coded

@FractalParadox Год назад

@@Kitty-oy5nj no, it's correctly designed. 3d models, shaders, particle systems, simulations , lighting conditions, those are all things that CAN change from a frame to the next. Part of the science of optimization is knowing what can be baked and what can't. An example are simulation files. You would usually simulate on houdini, import as a sequence of .vdb files and for every frame, there's a new file that needs to be loaded. Maybe you can cache the whole sequence on memory, if you are dealing with servers like this, but if you are a peasant, one of the biggest factors for render times besides the render itself is the reading speed of your storage

@demoniack81 Год назад

@@RoryStarr Completely wrong. It doesn't matter how many amps the power supply is capable of providing, you need voltage to drive current through a given load. A car battery can easily deliver 800A while cranking, but it will never give you even the slightest shock, in the same way that it will not only _not obliterate_ a 230V light bulb (which can only handle 500mA at most), but in fact won't even get anywhere close to _turning it on._ Something like a capacitive dropper connected to a 230V supply might only be able to deliver 50mA, but it will still kill you because 30mA are enough to stop your heart.

@slartibartfasttynsol420 Год назад

You won't get a shock, but Linus was right - heating is current squared times the resistance, so you drop a screw in the wrong place and there will be a lot of hot.

Copper/brass coolant systems are actually the middle budget option. Aluminum fins can be much thinner which results a much higher surface area for the radiators. You can also use a much thinner layer of metal on the bottom of the water block. Copper is used because it allows for cruder manufacturing. What you often see in consumer PC parts is thick machined aluminum which is worse than copper.

There was an underwater scene with tons of rubble and that rubble was all very blurry because of the murky water, but they still had realistic rubble, even if you couldn't see it)

Alex- "You can't hurt yourself with 12 volts." True, provided you have no cuts or anything, but breach the epidermis and you can indeed hurt yourself with 12 volts.

@DouglasHeyen Год назад

Yes but typically the low voltage doesn’t have enough “push” to kill a person. Plenty of amperage tho. Just not enough voltage.

@Nilboggen Год назад

LOL no. You could hook this up to your heart directly and it wouldn't kill you. The lowest voltage that has ever stopped a heart in clinical trials is 42 volts. Skin is a major defense against electricity but such a low voltage is safe even if you have a major breach in your skin. Need at least 30 volts to cause damage. Edit: I do want to add that such a thing as a capacitor exists and not all 12v things are safe to poke around in. A capacitor can store energy it is receiving and output it in higher voltages.

About the flexible tubing that holds its shape in tight bends, it's not a new concept at all, though applying it to computer water cooling might be, and it makes me think Alex wasn't joking about using automotive parts. That's actually pretty typical of automotive coolant hoses, and sometimes other fluid hoses, which is why you often need to buy a specific part rather than just get some appropriately-sized tubing and cut and bend it to fit if the hoses in your car needs replacing. Just ask me how much fun that is when a transmission cooler line springs a leak... Anyway, they tend to be multilayered, with synthetic rubber on the outside and polyester fiber reinforcement pretty much in the middle, but I'm not entirely certain what goes into the other layers.

I bought the D5 pump (Laing D5 vario) currently in my PC from DangerDen in 2004. It's turning 18 years old this October. The potentiometer failed about 8 years ago, so the pump was stuck at the lowest RPM setting, so I just soldered a jumper wire and bypassed the pot so it always runs at max RPM, and it just keeps on truckin'. The key to keeping a D5 around indefinitely is running ethylene glycol based automotive coolant. I use Valvoline Zerex at a 10/90 ratio to reverse osmosis filtered water. Also, never run any of the PC specific premix sold by Koolance, EK etc. if you want your D5 to last. They're primarily based on propylene glycol and lack the lubricating additives that automotive coolants have, and most of them start breaking down after 6-12 months and gunking up the pump if you're not religious about changing it out. In comparison, I went 8 years running the same Valvoline Zerex mixture, and my loop still looked brand new inside when I overhauled it.

@enniopelliccia3844 Год назад

You should go to a production studio that uses these kind of machines and ask them how they are improving their work and lives (less time spent rendering = more free time)

@gamingmarcus Год назад

The answer is not at all. Visual artists in movie, just like game studios are whipped into 24/7 crunch time. Having zero downtime between renders sure as hell doesn't make their life more comfortable.

@C-M-E Год назад

I can give you a rough benchmark. Even five years ago, studios were still committed to pure CPU render farms utilizing (on average) 10,000 cores to do runs. When the GPU Render Boxes started coming along, usually five units daisy chained together, we did a prior sequence that previously took 4 months to do on pure CPU and completed it over a weekend! It was still a lot of work in scaling texture maps and lots of PBR light rigs to fit within the confines of available GPU ram, but the Massive increase in rendering efficiency blew my mind. This kind of setup would be run by several render wranglers, each tasked with doing a set of runs with each utilizing a central rack. Larger studios would have 10 of these with dedicated cooling rooms that hold the ambient air temp below 50*F, even in the max heat of a Texas summer for instance. You would have to wear a winter coat to do your setups.

Yup. I don't know much about electricity, but I know that volts mean very little. It's amps that kill. That's why things like static shock, which can generate up to 25k-35k volts, just pops a little.

if you guys would render an image sequence instead of a frame you could see the acutal render time without asset loading time. Usually asset loading itme is a 1 time occurance that happens at the beginging of the render sequence and is almost all base on drive speed and io speed. Once loaded, its loaded in ram is way more effecient and you will see more consistent render times.

Coming from the automotive world, seeing aluminum radiators and formed rubber hoses is completely normal haha. Aluminum conducts heat very well and dissipates it very fast too, basically all high performance automotive radiators are aluminum. They have to keep an internal combustion engine cool at temps above the boiling point of water, meaning the hoses have to hold at least 1 bar of pressure as well. So basically all cooling hoses or heater hoses are reinforced with either steel, nylon or kevlar mesh. That hose at @11:30 looks like any old automotive heater hose you'd see coming off a thermostat housing on most japanese cars from the 80s on up, kinda neat to see!

FYI, direct soldering and thus bypassing connectors are much better for the signal integrity as well as getting rid of potential connector-to-board oxidation issues in the future. That is also one of the reasons professional boards use tinned pads instead of gold plated: copper and tin is less prone to cause issues like micro cracks etc. (complex metallurgy). So really, it is good.

@napnapnop Год назад

Hmm, but copper and tin are way more prone to oxidate... Apart from that, directly soldering cables instead of connectors is way better yes.

@@napnapnop Electronegativity - Cu (copper): 1,9. Sn (Tin): 1,96. Au (Gold): 2,54. and silver (Ag): 1,93. The more dissimilar materials are the more prone to issues. This was observed by an engineer who worked with audio circuits and boards for decades, the gold plated boards had a higher tendency to develop oxidation between the copper and gold vs the copper and tinned pads. In general. Differences between hard gold and ENIG could exist but is unknown. We are most likely not talking absolutes here, more rule of thumb, and besides, tinned boards have a tendency to last for a loooong time :)

Well, putting pumps in series does result the sum of pump heads if the flow remains the same. However, to get the performance in a real-life system, you need to follow the second stage pump curve to the point were it meets the system curve. That will yield a higher flow and lower head.

@cdburner5911 Год назад

9:50 If you think about a pump pressure-flow curve, they are more or less a straight line between the max pressure 0 flow, and max flow 0 pressure. When you put them in series, you scale it vertically, and when you put them parallel you scale it horizontally. The system will also have a pressure-flow curve, but tilted the other direction, where it starts at 0 pressure 0 flow, and as you increase flow the required pressure increases. If you superimpose the pump and system curves, where they intersect is the flow you get. It would depend on how restrictive the system is as to whether parallel or series would result in higher flow. Another consideration is with series, if one fails, it can pump through the other one, but in parallel, you need to add check valves so the flow doesn't short circuit if one fails. And as for stacking radiators, it all has to do with the airflow. If you are limited by the airflow, ie, using normal PC fans, the air will reach near water temps overt the first rad, and then beyond that it can't pick up much more heat, but if you got the industrial finger chopper fans, then there is sufficient mass flow of air that it doesn't heat up too much as it passes the first rad, and therefor the 2nd rad still has a good TD and can transfer a decent amount of heat.
