AWS Deadline Cloud now supports running tasks together in chunks

Today, AWS Deadline Cloud announces support for grouping tasks into chunks to efficiently execute multiple tasks together. AWS Deadline Cloud is a fully managed service that simplifies render management for computer-generated 2D/3D graphics and visual effects for films, TV shows, commercials, games, and industrial design.

When your job has short tasks, or tasks that need to run in an environment with a long startup time, chunking them together for execution reduces the time and cost for completing the job. When creating a job, you can now manually specify a chunk size for the number tasks to group together for execution, or alternately specify a target run time for the execution of a chunk of tasks. The target run time will be used to dynamically change the number of tasks grouped together as the job completes to improve execution efficiency and achieve the target run time.

Running tasks together in chunks is now available in all AWS Regions where AWS Deadline Cloud is supported. To get started, visit the Deadline Cloud developer guide.
