If I understand you correctly, you want to distribute the rendering between your
computers?

In which case you could use Subset_Start_Frame = 0 Subset_End_Frame = 524 for
your first computer, and Subset_Start_Frame = 525 Subset_End_Frame = 1049 for
your second computer in your ini file.

Have a read of this, too:

Provided there isn't too much variation in the content of your scene, both
computers (assuming they are pretty much the same spec) should finish at about
the same time. If not, you can of course adjust the subset start/end.

Also, make sure the assumed_gamma is the same for both computers, otherwise the
output files will appear different, if I understand gamma correctly.
