3ds Max has "mental ray" incorporated into it
"mental ray" is a top of the line renderer
"mental ray" is now owned by nvidia
"mental ray" is optimized to run on multiple nvidia GPUs and "render farms" if you mean these farms are multiple 2P Xeon servers linked together with high speed interconnects and slots for multiple GPUs
"mental ray" will use as many GPUs and linked Xeons that you can throw at it
This is pretty much state-of-the-art
Definitely not cheap
Many papers can be found explaining the details
