DAM/MAM asset management solutions for animation |
| posted by Mathew Sherman on Oct. 9, 2015, 10:13 a.m. (4 days ago) |
| Anyone out there in a large animation/design company working in video and using an Asset Management System (DAM/MAM) to manage assets? Or are people still working of local storage or central server using simple shared folders? We're looking at adopting a MAM but most of them seem to lend themselves more to the print (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) world. When you start asking about managing animation projects in C4D, AfterEffects the conversation always gets awkward. Anyone care to post their workflow for managing their collective assets when working in a shared environment? Mathew. | |

Storage Recomendations? |
| posted by Hasiel Hassan Alvarez Zavala on Oct. 9, 2015, 11:40 a.m. (4 days ago) |
| Hi
Im in charge of the evaluation of a new storage for a studio that is in production for a full cg animation featurefilm... right now our storage is small and slow, and in a long term plan we also want a scalable solution acording to the future needs...
At the end, we are facing "Oracle ZFS 3" and "HP 3PAR"
Leaving asidethe costof each,at the technical level, which would yourecommend and why?
This are the specifications for each one:
3PAR HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200c 8 Disks 1.92TB 6G SAS 2.5in cMLC SSD
54 Disks 6TB 6G SAS 7.2K 3.5in NL HDD.
RAW Capacity: 302.4 TiB Useable Capacity: 189.3 TiB Estimated IOPS: 51347
ZFS 3
ZFS ZS3-2
One Controler with: - 512 GB RAM
- 4 SSD disk read acelerators of 1.6Tb
Dos Trais DE2-24P with a total of: - 48 disks 900GB @ 10K RPM 2.5 inch SAS-2 HDD
- 2 disk SSDwrite aceleratorsde 200GB
Dos Trais DE2-24C with a total of: - 48 disks de 4TB @ 7.2K RPM 3.5 inch SAS-2 HDD
- 2 disks SSD write acelerators of 200GB

For any feedback, Thanks in advanced!

Swap size and tuning for 3D rendering on CentOS
6/7 |
| posted by Jez Tucker on Oct. 17, 2015, 7:50 a.m. (1 day ago) |
| Zero.
If you're swapping, you need more RAMor to optimise your scenes. I.E. if you're in swap, you're not rendering efficientlybut spending time moving pages in and out of swap.
That said, it never hurts to have some swap allocated just in case something goes awry. The old adage used to be be 1.5 - 2x RAM. Though you may wish to play with thevm.swappiness etc.setting as appropriate.

I'd (personally) go for however much ram is used on an idle machine. If a render goes over a little bit then theoretically something that's not all that important will move into swap. If you've pushed so hard the render needs pages that are in swap something
needs to change/ be oomed.

For those that are installing DCC tools locally on your Linux boxes, how do you take care of having multiple versions installed? Do you backup your workstations?

ZFS CPU usage planning |
| posted by Ali Poursamadi on Oct. 19, 2015, 12:45 p.m. (1 day ago) |
| Hello ZFS gurus out there, I'm doing some experiments with freenas and ZFS. The server is a dual processor, 6 core Xeon X5650 running at 2.67, 12 cores ( 24 threads ), 96G of ram. My ZFS pool consists of 3 RaidZs (4+1 Drives), no atime, no deduplication, gzip ( fastests ) compression. When I'm writing data to it over 10G, NFS, CPU usage goes up to 85%-90% and the copy maxes out at 300-400 MB/s. the kernel is using most of the CPU, interrupts are taking about 20% of one of the threads, nfsd is taking about 5-10% of one of the threads.
Questions: Is it normal CPU usage for processing ~350MB/s of throughput /3 RaidZs/gzip compression ? what do you suggest I look into to explore this problem ?

| Swap will give you a little breathing room to swap out unnecessary
processes that might be lying around during rendering, or ram for
tools that are infrequently used (such as a stowed web browser
someone left open on a render node desktop or a firefox
plugin-container that started sucking up ram because some flash
advertisement decided to stream a 15 minute ad during a long render)
A good reason to leave desktops off, but this kinda thing can happen
with non-desktop bg daemons too.
IIRC, on macs swap is dynamically assigned on demand as needed;
new files will appear in /var/vm as pressure on ram increases.
Best to leave that stuff alone, I'd think, and just purge them
once in a while if too many accumulate. Or perhaps there's some
cap you can enforce to prevent those from getting too numerous.

Qube scalability |
| posted by Samuel Nair on Oct. 19, 2015, 10:25 p.m. (1 day ago) |
| Wanted to find out if anyone had experience running Qube at scale of 500+ render nodes (maybe up to 1000).
We have a small render farm (200+) at the moment, but are going to be undergoing a sizeable growth in our farm size over the course of the next few months. One of the biggest concerns i have is in regard to Qube and its ability to handle that scale.
We have had a few Qube outages in the past where it looked like the qube workers were effectively DDOS'ing the Mysql DB and it required a complete shutdown of all workers and server and then a gradual restart.
PipelineFX support recommends adding SSD's for mysql and ensuring that there are enough cores for the service. Which is valid, but i am not convinced that will be good enough.
Anyone has any stories from the trenches about using Qube and how it handled scale ?. Also Tractor is looking increasingly attractive as an option.

We have a small render farm (200+) at the moment, but are going to be undergoing a sizeable growth in our farm size over the course of the next few months. One of the biggest concerns i have is in regard to Qube and its ability to handle that scale.
We have had a few Qube outages in the past where it looked like the qube workers were effectively DDOS'ing the Mysql DB and it required a complete shutdown of all workers and server and then a gradual restart.
PipelineFX support recommends adding SSD's for mysql and ensuring that there are enough cores for the service. Which is valid, but i am not convinced that will be good enough.
Anyone has any stories from the trenches about using Qube and how it handled scale ?. Also Tractor is looking increasingly attractive as an option.
