Lifeblood

Lifeblood is a task/job management software package
currently it aims for smaller teams, farms or even individual setups, but with scaling always in mind.

In terms of CG industry it's a mini render farm manager, but actually it's more than that,
It is a universal task automation tool.
Rendering, simulating, caching - are all just tasks that can be automated.

it consists of scheduler, workers and viewers

a scheduler manages multiple workers, giving them tasks to complete.
GUI tool is used to check on the state of scheduler and tasks and modify task processing graph.

This system overview should be very familiar to anyone who saw at least one renderfarm.

and also video tutorials
