Hi all Axy colleagues.
I'm wondering if it's possible, and if anyone has used it, to be able to run two copies of Axymmetry on the same machine.
- One possibility would be to have two instances of Axymmetry on the same windows with two graphics cards (one as master and the other as render node).
- Another possibility would be to create two virtual nodes, with vmware proxmod or similar software, and run each copy of Aximmetry on each virtual computer.
I know I need two Aximmetry DE licenses :-).
The first option requires that two instances of the same version of Aximmetry can be run at the same time. In the latest versions it is possible to install the new version separately from the existing version, but I don't know if it's possible to run them both at the same time.
The second option is a scenario where at the software level I don't think there will be any problems (they are two separate computers for all purposes). The problem I might have is with Aximmetry running reliably on virtual hardware. Can Aximmetry be run on AWS or Azure, which would be a similar scenario?
Thank you for your answers.
Hi,
We do not recommend running Aximmetry twice on the same computer, even if you are using a Virtual Machine to separate them. Doing so can lead to all kinds of issues.
However, Yes, Aximmetry can run on AWS and Azure when configured correctly. It has been tested on both platforms.
Note that one Aximmetry can utilize two graphics cards if you use Aximmetry's own render engine instead of Unreal Engine. Unreal Engine does not support multi-GPU by default.Could you please provide more details about what you aim to achieve? With more information, I'm sure we can offer a more detailed response tailored to your needs.
Warmest regards,
