Hi Shigenobu, I'd recommend using simple client-server and turning off remote rendering from the Preferences -> Render View -> Server. This should give you the same result without the complication of the render server. Making use of multiple cores when there is only one graphics card is a research topic for us. In the future, there will be better way of doing this.
