efficient rendering on a renderfarm

[FaRin27]

Sry for my English, it's not the best, but I hope you can understand what I want.

Describe the problem
I want to use Meshroom more efficiently on the render farm (CGRU / AFANASY).
I know how to send a Job to the Farm so that it start and produce the correct result.
(I use the command line wit Meshroom_photogrammetry ...)
At the moment exact one Render-Node compute one node of the Meshroom-Graph.
Is there a way that two or more render-node compute one node from the Meshroom-Graph?
For example:

• RenderNode1 compute the half from the DepthMap-Node and at the same time
• RenderNode2 compute the other half from the DepthMap-Node
  Didn't found anything and have no more Idea where else I could look

• Qt/PySide version 5.12.4
• Meshroom version:
  • Binary version 2019.2

Additional context

So you want to compute chunks 1-5 on renderfarm1 and chunks 6-10 on renderfarm2?
I don´t know if this is possible, but maybe this #778 helps (computing chunks in parallel)

Computing nodes in parallel should be possible, if their dependencies to other nodes allow it. (There is a new PR that has a screenshot demonstrating a render farm task manager #612)

Would you be so kind to share the details on your (CGRU / AFANASY) setup? It would be a great addition to the documentation.

=), this could help,
will try it and hope it work how I want.

And yes I can share the setup details for the CGRU/Afanasy render farm, when I finished.
Is there a page for this where I can do that.

You could create a new wiki page here https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki

I started a draft here https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/wiki/Renderfarm-submitters

@FaRin27 It would be great to read your experience on the CGRU / AFANASY setup
