DrQueue - Distributed rendering queue

Drqueue is a distributed rendering queue. It manages jobs on a renderfarm. It supports Maya, Blender, and Bmrt (Renderman) out of the box, and can support any other renderer or computing task that can be handled via scripting.

The package has three main tools: master, slave and drqman. The master acts as a server, where all tasks are stored and where computers running slaves report their success or failure executing the tasks. The slaves run on every node of the renderfarm. They report their load average; if it is below a user-determined level, they are considered available for rendering and take the first task assigned by the master server.

drqman is a GUI for controlling jobs and computers. You can reprioritize jobs, stop them, restart specific frames, change frames to be rendered and so. It uses gtk as its widget library.
