Compute Layer

Compute Marketplace provides enterprise-grade access to distributed high-performance compute, enabling scalable AI workloads with transparent pricing and flexible resource allocation.

The Compute Marketplace is the infrastructure layer of AITECH Cloud Network (ACN), designed to provide enterprise-grade access to high-performance compute through a distributed and flexible model. It enables organizations to run AI workloads without dependence on centralized hyperscalers, offering improved cost efficiency, accessibility, and control over resource utilization.


7.1 Overview

The Compute Marketplace operates as a distributed compute network, aggregating resources from multiple providers to deliver scalable GPU access on demand.

  • Distributed Infrastructure Model Compute is sourced from a network of providers rather than a single centralized entity

  • On-Demand GPU Access Users can access high-performance GPUs based on workload requirements

  • Flexible Deployment Supports a wide range of AI and compute-intensive applications

7.2 Infrastructure Design

The infrastructure combines dedicated high-performance computing (HPC) environments with a broader global supply network.

  • HPC Data Centers Purpose-built facilities optimized for high-performance workloads

  • Global Compute Providers Integration with external providers to expand capacity and availability

  • Individual Providers Availability of supplying compute on the marketplace through individual supply

7.3 Pricing Model

The Compute Marketplace is designed to provide transparent and predictable pricing structures, addressing one of the primary challenges of traditional cloud platforms.

  • Credit-Based System Purchase platform credits using ACN, FIAT and Stable coins

  • Pay-as-You-Go Model Users are charged only for the compute they actively use from their platform credits balance

  • Reservation Model Users can reserve on long term commitments using the platform credits

  • No Idle Billing Charges are not incurred for inactive resources
