## Publishing cache to Deadline
Artist can publish cache to deadline while using local machine for other tasks which increases productivity.
Caching on the farm is supported for:

- **Arnold ASS (.ass)**
- **Pointcache (.bgeo and .abc)**
- **VDB (.vdb)**
- **Redshift Proxy (.rs)**

Follow these steps to submit your cache to deadline:
1. you need to create the instance(s) with **Submitting to Farm** enabled, you also can still enable **Use selection** to
select the object for caching in farm.

2. When you go to Publish Tab and click the instance(s), you can set up your preferred
**Frame per task**. If you want to publish the existing instances to farm, you can enable
the toggled button **Submitting to Farm**.

3. Once you hit **Publish**, the cache would be submitted and rendered in deadline.
When the render is finished, all the caches would be located in your publish folder.
You can see them in the Loader.
