Detailed Description

The Bridge server is a single remote host that makes its resources available to Bridge clients through a proprietary network protocol over a single TCP/IP connection.

The client uses the connection to send changes and delegate work to the Bridge server; the server uses the connection to send job results and other data back to the client.

A Bridge server can serve multiple clients at the same time. This is equivalent to starting multiple jobs simultaneously on a host in a normal local cluster.

The API consists of two layers: a low-level API, called Bridge API, and a high-level API, called Iray Bridge API. The low-level Bridge API is generic and independent of domain-specific tasks like rendering. It exposes the full flexibility of the Bridge. The high-level Iray Bridge API is specific to rendering. It encapsulates the details of the Bridge API and exposes them in a simpler way sufficient for rendering. Using the high-level API is strongly recommended unless there are specific needs which require using the low-level API. See the API component mi::bridge::IBridge_server for the Bridge API, and mi::bridge::IIray_bridge_server for the Iray Bridge API.
