Hi! Why no news? What progress with the development of the site?
Very soon. I hope it will be with announce of rendering module alpha. Now we are doing the latest tests of the Flamenco rendering manager. I apologize for the rare news, I just cant fully appreciate the work of our programmers, but I dont want to distort the facts. The delay arose due to the possible replacement of the rendering manager in the structure of the processing pool.
Why is the rendering manager important? In order for the processing pool to be competitive, we must offer an adequate price to customers, compensating for possible difficulties. Now cloud rendering pricing is ~0.03$/hour for 1 Ghz, so we need to reduce the cost by about 20-30%. The standard BOINC task manager did not load the equipment by 100%, which meant the loss of computing power when the network was scaled. Therefore, we needed a specialized rendering manager. ETA - less than a week before the announcement of the documentation and most likely the alpha version of the rendering module.
