Apple Qmaster can accept jobs from Shake, Autodesk Maya, and any UNIX command-line program. The Apple Qmaster application is one of several applications in the Apple Qmaster distributed processing system. The complete system includes controls for configuring clusters of processing computers and for monitoring, pausing, resuming, or canceling work that has been submitted.
