Render Farm Throughput

Wikidata-backed: Q382597 (render farm), Q7798498 (throughput)

A render farm is a computer system, typically a cluster, for rendering computer-generated imagery (CGI). Throughput is the rate of movement of inputs and outputs through a production process — measured in frames per second, jobs per hour, or gigabytes per cycle.

What throughput means

In business terms, throughput is the rate of production or the maximum rate at which something can be processed. For a render farm, this translates to:

• Frames rendered per hour — the raw output rate
• Jobs completed per cycle — discrete tasks from queue to disk
• Bandwidth utilization — data moving between nodes and storage
