The ResPower render farm calculates the time utilized in the following manner: • A render node selects a frame for render, and stores the “Start Time” • The render node tells rendering software to render selected frame • The rendering Software (e.g., Lightwave, Maya, Max) renders frame • The rendering Software notifies the render node that the frame is complete • The render node stores the \”End Time\” • The farm then calculates the Credits utilized according to this formula: Credits = (End Time – Start Time) * (Speed of Computer in GHz) * (Software Factor)
