DreamWorks is feeded by Linux

Shrek the third, rendered at DreamWorks linux farm


DreamWorks Animation probably has the world’s largest rendering farm for producing 3D animations. A typical movie like Shrek 3 consumed a total of 20 million CPU render hours, so even though they have more than 3000 server CPUs and 1000 desktops it takes quite a lot of time to render all the frames. Here’s an interesting article from Linux Journal about the DreamWorks Animation studio.
