Typical Configuration Overview for Autodesk Lustre

A Lustre system consists of a number of different hardware and software

components. This section describes each of the hardware components in a

Lustre installation, and the software associated with each component. You

may or may not have all of the components listed here in your Lustre setup.

The type of workgroup, as well as the feature set you purchase for each of the

workstations in that workgroup, determine the components in your

installation.

Lustre Workstations

There are two kinds of Lustre workstations: the Master Station and the Lustre

Station. The optional Lustre Station offers a way to improve the efficiency and

cost-effectiveness of a pipeline by offloading tasks that do not require the full

feature set of the Master Station.

Master Station

The Master Station is designed for GPU-accelerated sessions where the colorist

works together with the cinematographer. It includes an extensive creative

toolset for elaborate visual design and grading, using up to 4K resolution and

16-bit files and for completing tasks like dust busting, conforming, rotoscoping,

and capture/playout. It also includes SD and HD I/O, dual link and HSDL

video formats, and the film workflow features, which consist of infrared

channel dust removal and support for all standard input and output resolutions

and bit-depths.

The Master Station can support up to three panels of the Autodesk Control

Surface and, with an additional license, a Slave Renderer.

Lustre Station

Tasks that do not require the direct intervention or supervision of the colorist

can be efficiently handled by a Lustre Station. Multiple Lustre Stations can

work in parallel to increase throughput and can be used for tasks such as

dust-busting, preparatory work, fine-tuning creative sessions, conforming data

from EDLs, updating editorial changes, and mastering to different formats
