Multiple Job Threads - Main settings

The client can start multiple independent job threads.

Each job thread takes its own job as if it is a separate client machine.


Number of job threads

Sets the number of independent job threads at the client.

Wait x sec after a new job before requesting a new one

If one thread has got a job, you can tell the client to wait x seconds before any of the other threads gets a job.

This is required for 

  • Some applications do not support that they start multiple instances simultaneously.
    E.g. After Effects closes with some error if you start two instances at the same time.
  • Starting an application and loading the scene takes a lot of the capacity of the harddrive and the network.
    E.g. if two applications try to take all capacity they can get from a harddrive at the same time, they do not get 50% each, they get about 35% of the harddrives speed. (The missing 30% is just lost)
