  This paper discusses the deployment of existing render farm manager in a
typical compute cluster environment such as a university. Usually, both a
render farm and a compute cluster use different queue managers and assume total
control over the physical resources. But, taking out the physical resources
from an existing compute cluster in a university-like environment whose primary
use of the cluster is to run numerical simulations may not be possible. It can
potentially reduce the overall resource utilization in a situation where
compute tasks are more than rendering tasks. Moreover, it can increase the
system administration cost. In this paper, a framework has been proposed that
creates a dynamic distributed rendering environment on top of the compute
clusters using existing render farm managers without requiring the physical
separation of the resources.
