RenderMan participants had the use of Microsoft virtual machines with AMD processors, specifically Azure Virtual Machines HBv3-series using AMD EPYC™ 7V73X processors with L3 cache 3D V-Cache. The powerful AMD processors enable high-performance computing, and Microsoft Azure provides a purpose-built, high-performance computing (Azure HPC) infrastructure to support workloads such as rendering. #AzureHPC

The RenderMan® Challenge lets creators engage with Pixar, using tools and assets provided by the studio. Entrants now have free access to Azure Virtual Machines with AMD processors, giving all kinds of creators—from hobbyists to professionals—access to the best tools to compete.

Great blog post by Josh Hart about video encoding/transcoding with fractional GPUs on Bottlerocket. He starts by explaining the problem: "As media-streaming workloads fluctuate with viewing habits, it’s important to have elastically scalable rendering capacity. The more responsively additional compute capacity can be provisioned, the better the user experience." Then goes on to compare general purpose Linux distros to Bottlerocket's ready time: General-purpose Linux elapsed time to Node Ready 51.71 second Bottlerocket elapsed time to Node Ready 34.19 seconds (1.6x faster!) Quite a speed improvement. However, the bottom line conclusion really clinches it: "By leveraging fractional GPUs, container orchestration, and purpose-built OS and instance types, media companies can achieve up to 95% better price-performance." Boom. Now go read the details in how this is all done!
