Autodesk®Burn® is a Linux®-based network processing solution for Autodesk® Inferno®, Autodesk® Flame®, Autodesk® Flint®, Autodesk Flare™, Autodesk® Smoke®, and Autodesk® Backdraft® Conform.
Burn allows you to process images in the background using low-cost Linux systems and frees your workstation for more creative tasks. With Burn, facilities can leverage a larger pool of processing power so that complex visual effects requiring intensive processing can be created more quickly.
As part of the Autodesk® Backburner™ background processing network, a network of Burn render nodes can process multiple tasks in the background, dramatically increasing the efficiency of the visual effects and finishing processes.
Burn render nodes equipped with GPU-accelerated graphics cards are capable of processing complex jobs, such as floating point jobs.
By combining a fast network connection such as InfiniBand® technology with a GPU-accelerated graphics card, Burn can deliver extremely fast background processing of timelines, Batch setups, or any other job that supports background processing.
You can also benefit from the fast background processing provided with Burn when using the Sparks® API to port your custom Autodesk Developer Network Sparks plug-ins to the Linux® environment.
