Im rendering with my WS + 3 DRServers.
My WS is a 3960X and is the most powerful in my network but now with Corona 10 RC1 I'm seeing that my WS reaches a max. of 80% during rendering and minimums of 65% moving up and down within these values, but the slaves are working at 100% stable.

WS:

One of the DR Servers:

That 20-30% of loss in my WS represents a lot of power and time.

I tried to stop the Servers and only test with the WS and it stays at 80% max.

Can you help me?

Hi,

Can you answer a few questions:

1. What version of 3ds Max you are using with Corona 10 RC1?
2. What are the hardware specs of the system which is using 80% CPU utilization?
3. What operating system is installed on this system?
4. Please make sure there is no thread limit is set on this system.
5. All systems which are taking part in DR using Corona 10 RC1 and same version of 3ds Max?
6. How is the DR setup? Are the systems connected via LAN? and you are using Corona DR?
7. Is this a scene-specific issue? For example: This is only happening with some particular scene you are rendering on DR or this is happening even with a very simple scene that has some planes and cubes.
8. Does the node have a proper Windows, driver, and BIOS update?
9. Make sure that power management is not set to some energy-saving mode, it should be set to high performance.
10. It is also important to check the cooling of your node so we are sure it's performing as it should.
11. Is this issue happening only with Corona 10 RC1 and does not happen with Corona 9 HF3 or V-Ray?

Let me know.

Hi Avi. I have been checking and i found the error. I imported 20 USD models in my scene and they have a USDPREVIEWSURFACE shader. It makes my WS to go slow. When I override a base material to all the scene, the CPU runs at 100%... when I hide the USD models, the cpu runs at 100%.. We I unhide the USDs the problem comes back.
There's no way to convert USDPREVIEWSURFACE to corona for now, so I think that maybe that could be an opportunity area for the corona Team.

1. What version of 3ds Max you are using with Corona 10 RC1? << 2024.1
2. What are the hardware specs of the system which is using 80% CPU utilization? << AMD 3960X - 64GB RAM - ASUS PRIME MOBO - M2 DISKS
3. What operating system is installed on this system? << W10 PRO
4. Please make sure there is no thread limit is set on this system. <<IS NOT. THE ERROR ARE THE USD FILES.
5. All systems which are taking part in DR using Corona 10 RC1 and same version of 3ds Max? <<YES. SAME WINDOWS, SAME 3DS MAX, PLUGINS, UPDATES, CORONA, ALL IS THE SAME.
6. How is the DR setup? Are the systems connected via LAN? and you are using Corona DR? << AMD 5950X - 64 RAM - M2 DISKS... ALMOST THE SAME THAN WS. - LAN CONNECTION. YES, IM USING CORONA DR SERVER AND I HAVE ENOUGH LICENCES FOR ALL.
7. Is this a scene-specific issue? For example: This is only happening with some particular scene you are rendering on DR or this is happening even with a very simple scene that has some planes and cubes. << I FOUND THE ERROR. USD FILES.
8. Does the node have a proper Windows, driver, and BIOS update? << YES
9. Make sure that power management is not set to some energy-saving mode, it should be set to high performance. << NOPE
10. It is also important to check the cooling of your node so we are sure it's performing as it should. << ALL IS COOL ;)
11. Is this issue happening only with Corona 10 RC1 and does not happen with Corona 9 HF3 or V-Ray? << I DONT KNOW, I INSTALLED C10 RC1 BEFORE WORKING THIS PROJECT. BEFORE I HAVENT USED MANY USD FILES SO I DONT RECALL HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

Thank you
