We use a mixture, with a current minimum of 16 GB (though we are still
upgrading some of our 8GB machines); we have probably a 15-70-15 percentage
split across 8, 16, and 24 GB machines for Nuke rendering, with the 24 GB
machines being 12 core and the rest 8.
Frankly, a lot of Nuke nodes still get brutally unstable in situations
involving very complex scripts where caches have to be freed frequently, and
not from hitting swap as one might expect. This is especially true with some
of the more advanced nodes and those that either are or have been rolled in
from OFX plugins (Ocula, Keylight, DeNoise, LensDistortion, etc.) or heavy
scripts involving 3D scenes or large amounts of overscan. Sometimes the only
way to get a shot through is to restrict it to nodes with more RAM.

Subject: [Nuke-users] RAM for Nuke render farm
Hi there!
Just a quick question:
What is your actual recommendation or value your working with on RAM for
renderfarm machines who should render Nuke (Linux and Windows)? How much RAM
per vCore/thread?
Thanks,
Abraham
