Renderfarm Capacity Analysis worksheet

The Section Below will help Calculate the Studio's Existing Rendering Capacity

Instructions

Enter data into the fields below

NOTES

Calculated Results (Existing Capacity)

*TOOL CALIBRATION CONSTANT* number of hours in a month (720 is default)

720

This field should be kept at "720" (30 days x 24 hours/day) except for special cases

SECONDS of RENDERED animation REQUIRED per month (@ 30 frames per second)

# 1. enter the monthly rendering workload (in # of rendered frames )

2500

This data should be known by the studio manger or art director

SECONDS of RENDERED animation REQUIRED per month (@ 24 frames per second)

104

# 2 enter measured average Cinebench 10 Multi CPU score (CB-CPU points) for customer's current rendernode(s) ***If 32bit version of Cinebench10 is used, then add about 8% to their score and enter it here

11,500

This benchmark data will come from customer's benchmark results running the Cinebench10 test on all exisiting rendernodes This number is the average CB-CPU score of all available rendernodes

Total rendering capacity (in CB-CPU points) (64bit Windows) for existing farm:

6900

# 3 enter current # of computers currently being used for rendering

This data should be known by the studio manger or art director. This number can include "part-time" rendernodes

Total rendering time (in hours) required for indicated workload using existing hardware

2500

# 4 enter total (average) number of frames that can currently be rendered on all existing computers in one hour (typical or maximum scene complexity)

This data should be known by the studio manger or art director

% monthly utilization of current rendernodes for indicated workload *Numbers over 100% indicate exceeded inhouse capacity for indicated workload

578.7%

# 5 enter the Maximum Percentage (%) of time the current rendernodes are available for rendering tasks

60.00%

this number can include any "part-time" rendering nodes. A value of "100" would indicate all rendernodes are available 24 hours/day

Aggragate CB-CPU point/Hrs required for indicated workload

39931

The Section below will help calculate how many new BOXX units are required for given workload

Enter data into the fields below

NOTES

*TOOL CALIBRATION CONSTANT* number of nodes per chassis ("2" is default for 10300)

This should stay at "2" for normal use with renderBOXX 10300 units. Use "1" if 3DBOXX workstation is to be used for rendering instead of renderBOXX 10300

Calculated Results -(Proposed New Capacity using renderBOXX 10300)

# 7 enter number of new renderBOXX 10300 modules being considered

total number of new rendernodes (remember its 2 per 10300 module)

# 8 enter measured Cinebench CB-CPU rendering performance of each renderBOXX 10300 node (see below for proper value to type here)

23,000

total (aggregate) rendering capacity (in CB-CPU points) for the indicated new 10300 modules

46000

Use the following values: Dual Xeon 5520 - 23,000 Dual Xeon 5540 - 24,800 Dual Xeon 5550 - 26,400 Dual Xeon 5570 - 28,000 Dual Xeon 5580 - 31,000 Dual Xeon 5590 - 32,900

total rendering time (in hours) required for indicated workload using indicated number of 10300 modules

375

% monthly utilitzation of proposed new rendernodes for indicated workload *Numbers over 100% indicate exceeded inhouse capacity for indicated rendering workload

86.8%

Capitol Cost Calculations

Enter data into the fields below

Calculated new hardware/software Cost Results

# 9 enter the cost of each new 10300 module

$6,000.0

total hardware + software cost for new 10300 modules

6000

# 10 enter the cost of additional software for each new 10300 NODE (per node - not per module)

mothly cost on 3 year commercial lease

199.2

**Temporarily DISABLED** enter the cost of additional items needed for new renderfarm (that can be added to the lease)

rendering cost per frame of animation

1.91

Calculate the Cost for sending indicated rendering workload out-of-house

Calculated Cost for sending rendering "out of house"

Enter the Ghz/Hr rate charged TO studio BY commercial rendefarm (RenderTitan) service for rendering (typically 12.5 cents per Ghz/Hr.)

$0.200

GHz/Hours required for indicated rendering workload

7500

http://www.rebusfarm.com/price-list_en.html

starts at about 9.9 cents per GHz/Hr

Cost charged BY commercial rendefarm (RenderTitan) service for rendering indicated number of frames

4761

http://www.rendertitan.com/estimate

starts at about 12.5 cents per GHz/Hr

Out-of-House rendering cost per frame of animation

1.9

http://www.renderrocket.com/estimator.aspx

starts at about 20 cents per GHz/Hr
