SPARX Overview
Award-winning DUX Soft SPARX™ software is a tool designed to facilitate those in the film, television, game development, and other industries who desire to manage their render farm or computing center. SPARX™ has a unique and robust architecture for managing the rendering and computing needs of various industries. The tool can be customized to create effective workflows for computation needs. SPARX™ runs on Sun Grid Engine – which is a highly scalable distributed resource management (DRM) system that allows administrators to accurately model compute resources and business policies in order to achieve optimum utilization of resources and a higher level of productivity for users. SPARX™ is well known for the reliability, open architecture, wide range of supported platforms, and effective data mining.
High Performance Rendering™
With SPARX™ along with Cluster computing, you get a highly scalable DRM system. The tool outwits the other job schedulers with this powerful feature of efficient load management on the compute nodes. A unified interface provides easy and consistent access to the resource utilization of the compute nodes.
Productivity-Enhancing Features
The special features incorporated in the tool gives a combination of performance and productivity enhancement. The file analysis, selective render layers for efficient scene management gives you the flexibility to work the way you want.
Comprehensive Database
SPARX™ stores all the information like render logs, user logs, status of jobs in a strong database for more efficient render wrangling and data mining. This database becomes a permanent record of the render history.
Variety of tools supported
SPARX™ supports a wide range of tools. The tools can be quickly integrated with SPARX™. These are not only the tools used in Animation, Visual EFX and Gaming but also used in other compute intensive industries like CAE, Bio Engineering, Weather Research etc.,
Efficient Integration
SPARX™ is currently integrated in the software tools like Autodesk® Maya for immediate submission of jobs to the render-farm. With the help of the development team at DUX Soft, SPARX™ can be integrated into any application
