This is a python program which takes a blender file and number of frames to render and finds the number of systems available then devides the job between the slave nodes so as to speedup rendering.

In otherwords if you type ./brender my_file.blend 1000

  1. It will read .dpsystems which should list IP numbers or names of systems running sirex.
  2. Then it will devide the number of frames by number of systems.
  3. Then create a seqence of commands to send them to nodes.
  4. Finally contacts sirex on each node and send them the command for rendering.

For this to work please see the mycluster description. It is very simple indeed.
