A simple way to distribute rendering tasks across multiple machines.

# To run the example task locally using either a Docker container or a Celery worker
python -m distributaur.example.local

# To run the example task on vast.ai ("kitchen sink" example)
python -m distributaur.example.distributed

This script configures the environment, registers a sample function, dispatches a task, and monitors its execution.

Command Options

  • --max_price is the max price (in $/hour) a node can be be rented for.
  • --max_nodes is the max number of vast.ai nodes that can be rented.
  • --docker_image is the name of the docker image to load to the vast.ai node.
  • --module_name is the name of the celery worker
