EnFuzion® Distributed Computing for Render Farms ...

Michael Duffy, President and CEO of Axceleon, showcases their flagship product, EnFuzion® at SIGGRAPH 2009. EnFuzion is a distributed computing application used in Grid and Cloud Computing and for Studio Render Farms. It is a behind-the-scenes application, running behind the firewall, that optimizes hardware utilization for artists and animators to reduce rendering time, and make it easier for artist and graphics directors to get their jobs completed. Visit www.axceleon.com for a free trail of the software, and www.intel.com/software/artist for additional artist and animator resources.

@PLAlfa One frame of Avatar took 45 to 48 hours to render and a single second is 24 frames so one minute is 1440 frames and thus one minute would take 69120 hours to render. Divide that between one thousand CPUs (one per frame of animation) and then a minute takes 69.12 hours to render. Tada! The actual number of computer CPUs used to render Avatar has faded from recent memory.

@justinford10jf so how long would take to render 1 min of effect like in avatar? i mean for example scene with blue bird-lizards flying above water?

Distributed rendering is a technique for distributing a single render job within a single frame across many computers in a network. There are different approaches of doing this but the main concept is to reduce the render times by dividing different parts of the rendering pipeline and giving each participant different parts of the job.Then get the results and combine them into the final image.for more info google out renderrocket
