Getting started with SolarCompute

One network.
Two ways to take part.

Use distributed computing capacity for your workloads, or contribute compatible hardware to help provide it. SolarCompute coordinates both sides through one managed network.

I need compute → I have compute →
Where do you fit?

Start on the side of the network that matches what you need.

SolarCompute connects people and businesses that need computing resources with compatible distributed machines capable of performing approved workloads.

You do not need to understand the infrastructure behind the network to use it. Choose whether you want to run work or provide capacity, and SolarCompute guides the next steps.

Need compute, or have compute?

01 · USE THE NETWORK

Run workloads

For people and businesses that need computing capacity.

Submit a supported AI, GPU or CPU workload. SolarCompute validates the request, identifies compatible available capacity, coordinates execution and returns the completed result.

Create account → Choose workload → Submit → Run → Receive

02 · PROVIDE CAPACITY

Become a Host

For people and businesses with compatible computing hardware.

Install SolarCompute Host software, activate the machine and allow the network to identify its hardware. Compatible machines can then be matched with approved workloads they are configured to run.

Create account → Host setup → Activate → Match → Host

If you need compute

From request to result.

SolarCompute coordinates the workload lifecycle so you do not have to provision or manage the underlying Host machine.

01

Submit

Choose a supported workload and provide its required inputs.

02

Validate

The network checks workload rules and resource requirements.

03

Queue

The accepted request enters the SolarCompute workload queue.

04

Allocate

Compatible available compute capacity is selected.

05

Run

The approved workload executes on allocated capacity.

06

Receive

Review the completed response, metrics or result.

If you have compute

Turn compatible hardware into network capacity.

SolarCompute Host software connects your machine to the network, reports its available capabilities and allows it to be matched with approved work suitable for that hardware configuration.

Your path onto the network
01
Join

Create your SolarCompute account and set up Host access.

02
Connect

Install the Host software and securely activate your machine.

03
Discover

SolarCompute identifies the machine's hardware and available capabilities.

04
Match

The network matches compatible hardware with approved workloads.

05
Earn

Provide useful compute capacity when eligible network work is available.

Don't have suitable hardware?

Start with a SolarCompute machine.

SolarCompute machines provide another path for people who want to participate as Hosts without starting from an existing compatible PC. Available machine options can be explored through SolarCompute.

Controlled network

Workloads run through SolarCompute, not directly between users and Hosts.

Customers do not receive direct access to Host computers. Workloads are submitted through SolarCompute services and are subject to supported workload rules, validation and available network capacity.
