Interview: Joel Cohen, writer and associate producer of The Simpsons
,----[ Quote ]
| For that purpose, crudely animated scenes were produced with Red Hat
| Enterprise Linux and Linux animation technology, so our animators were able
| to show us these scenes incredibly quickly. Once a scene or piece of a scene
| was approved, it would begin the more traditional animation route; however,
| the volume and speed of material that was created for the movie could never
| have been done without that Red Hat-fueled system.

| At first, studios had no choice but to develop Linux applications in house.
| The film industry has millions of lines of Linux code, both desktop
| applications and server pipelines. Studio Linux programmers write code in
| C++, Python, Perl, and Java. What does all this secret proprietary Linux code
| do? And, why do they do parallel programming with grid computing? How does
| the film industry use renderfarms with thousands of CPUs?
