Re: Setting affinity for tasks

I didn't realize child processes would inherit affinity. That makes this easy, as I just changed the one line in render.cmd from "%AF_ROOT%\bin\afrender.exe" %* to start "AF_RENDER" /affinity FFFD "%AF_ROOT%\bin\afrender.exe" %* and now things are working great. Blender...

Setting affinity for tasks

I would like to set the rendering software CPU affinity to be one less than the total CPU cores for the computer that is running the AFANASY server, just so the system is responsive at all times. I am using Windows 10 and can do this from the Command Prompt by launching Blender using start /affinity...

Re: Removing temp files in working directory

Removing temp files in working directory

I have CGRU 2.2.1 set up and running on Windows 10 and things are working well overall. The issue I just ran into is that the temporary .exr files that are being created on all of the nodes running render are not being deleted, as one of the nodes had its hard drive almost completely full.
