GPU Resource Sharing

Definition ∞ GPU resource sharing is the practice of distributing the processing power of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) among multiple users or applications. This allows for efficient utilization of expensive hardware resources. It can occur within a single system or across a network of connected devices.
Context ∞ GPU resource sharing is becoming increasingly relevant in the digital asset space, particularly for decentralized compute networks and AI applications on blockchain. It enables individuals to monetize their unused GPU capacity and provides cost-effective access to high-performance computing for proof generation or AI inference. The development focuses on creating secure and verifiable mechanisms for allocating and compensating shared GPU power.
