Definition ∞ Decentralized GPU refers to a distributed network of Graphics Processing Units that are pooled and made available for various computational tasks, often facilitated by blockchain technology. Instead of relying on centralized cloud providers, users can access GPU power from a global network of independent providers. This system offers a more resilient and censorship-resistant alternative for high-performance computing. It democratizes access to powerful processing capabilities.
Context ∞ The emergence of decentralized GPU networks is a significant topic in discussions about the future of AI training, rendering, and other compute-intensive applications. Debates often concern the efficiency of resource allocation and the economic incentives for GPU providers. Future developments will likely see increased adoption for decentralized machine learning and scientific simulations, offering scalable and open access to computational power.
