I’ve raised this multiple times with no real valid answer as yet.
DR Nodes use way more RAM than the scene actually needs.
I’m rendering right now.
The scene on my host PC is using less than 50GB RAM, yet both nodes are using over 70GB. The only program running on those nodes is Corona DR/Max. On the host PC, I’m also running Skype, Chrome (with lots of tabs open), Spotify, Photoshop amongst others.
It happens on every scene without fail. It’s actually stopping one of nodes being productive to the overall render even though it has enough RAM (64GB) to handle what the scene is actually using (45GB).
Here’s my original post from 3 years ago, that I revisted a year ago and got no resolution - https://forum.corona-renderer.com/ Render Node using More Ram Than Host in DR
