Abstract
A graphics rendering system is provided for controlling the rendering of images to manage expected errors. The graphics rendering system receives a specification of a render task to be performed to render an image of a graphics scene and then identifies computing devices that each have a graphics processing unit. The graphics rendering system directs each of the identified computing devices to render the image specified by the render task such that each identified computing device renders the same image. When the graphics rendering system detects that a computing device has completed the render task successfully, it provides the image rendered by that computing device as the rendered image of the render task such that any other image rendered by another of the computing devices is not needed.
