Despite the number of processors in a render farm, it is still necessary to order the jobs so that they are dispatched to execution hosts in a deterministic order. Queuing is the process of properly sorting the list of jobs to be executed.
Qube ships with a number of built-in queuing algorithms that should be sufficient for most productions. However, if these algorithms are not suitable, Qube supports the development of custom queuing algorithms as well.
