The parts of Qube!
A Qube! farm has 3 main components:
- The Qube! clients, machines that submit jobs. Typically these are artists or end-users workstations.
- The Qube! workers, machines that run jobs. A client can also be a worker.
- The Qube! supervisor, which controls what jobs are sent to which workers.
