Are Intel Arc Gpus supported for simulation workloads?
I was thinking about pyro and water simulations specifically.

Hello,

I do lots of heavy cloth simulations using Vellum.
What is the best cpu and gpu for vellum cloth simulation workload?
Also does faster memory make a difference?

Hello
I have a PDG network to render out some cloth simulations using hqueuescheduler.
All my render clients and server are using Windows 10 and all have access to the shared network folder.
But i keep getting the below error on all clients
