In Distributed Computing, computer operations are spread across multiple processes amongst multiple machines. An operation must be capable of multiprocessing in order to be able to be distributed, with the addition of being able to communication across a network to interchange any necessary data.

To help users to exploit this, Houdini ships with a distributed RenderQueue software product called HQueue.

Houdini supports distributed computing with:

• Rendering with Mantra - see MantraRemoteRendering
• VolumeFluids and SPHFluids can be simulated in a distributed fashion.
