To simplify, we provide the servers and you will access the server you want via Remote Desktop. You will immediately have yourself a workstation with a powerful configuration from 1 to 8 GPU RTX3090, your working environment will be saved and ready to use whenever you need it. Or another economical and effective option is to use iRender’s cloud rendering service. With the mentioned configuration requirements, you can consider investing in yourself a workstation to work effectively with Arnold projects.

With active HT, Arnold is able to render up to 20% faster. We recommend activating the function *Hyperthreading* in the BIOS for Intel processors. For extremely fast CPU renderings, it is recommended to use a business workstation with dual CPU. model 3955WX with 16 CPU cores, 32 threads and max. More than an alternative are the AMD processors, preferably Threadripper of the Pro series, e.g. 4.7 Ghz, Intel Core i9, 10 cores, 20 threads and max. 3.90 GHz, Intel Core i7 9700, 8 cores, 16 threads and max. The following processors are particularly suitable for Autodesk Arnold: Intel Xeon W-2133, 6 cores, 12 threads and max. From version 6 Autodesk Arnold is able to use both CPU and GPU rendering.ĬPU rendering focuses on accuracy while GPU rendering is optimised for speed. We should focus on the CPU up to version 5, as the graphics card cannot be used for its renderings. Intel Xeon processors typically have more threads than their Intel Core counterparts.

Multiple queues per core allow the CPU core to switch between different tasks.

CPU cores refer to the cores that actually physically exist, while threads are often thought of as queues for the core in question. The CPU renderer uses all available threads of the CPU. For these versions we recommend to pay attention to a balance between the number of their CPU cores and threads. Up to version 5, Arnold is a CPU-based rendering program.
