Reuse cache on different computer for rendering

We need to render AE projects on different computers concurrently  by cli tool.

Current issues: When we use  AE GUI, a cache will be generated, as shown in the green cache bar in the red box below. This cache can accelerate the rendering of AE.


According to the directory of the Disk buffer, I find the cache storage location in the computer (see the figure below).  I shared the cache through file sharing(samba) and set Disk buffer path to the shared path on another computer . But the test results showed no acceleration effect.


So I want to consult: Is there any way to use the cache of AE on another computer to accelerate rendering.

No. The cache is just that. A local temporary storage and there's a million reasons why it can't be shared. If you realyl want to re-use elements, pre-render them properly.
