Provider

Introduction

The Provider section represents the supply side of the Cloud, focusing on connecting idle GPUs to form a comprehensive computing network. This section is designed to provide every provider with a user-friendly platform for integrating their devices, monitoring GPU performance, and tracking the rewards they earn. By joining the HolmesAI network, providers can leverage their idle GPU resources to contribute to a powerful and efficient computing ecosystem.

Key Features

The Provider section offers a seamless experience for connecting and synchronizing multiple devices. With just a single click, you can effortlessly add new devices to the network and monitor their real-time performance. This functionality ensures that you can manage your devices efficiently, enhancing both the user experience and the overall performance of the network.

Our platform also supports a wide range of GPUs, accommodating diverse hardware configurations. The global distribution of resources spans major regions including Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond, allowing you to connect devices regardless of their location. This broad support for heterogeneous GPUs ensures that your resources can be effectively utilized within the network.

Additionally, the Provider section is designed to significantly increase your earnings. Our advanced GPU network scheduling system ensures that job assignments are distributed fairly among devices, minimizing idle time and maximizing your potential rewards. This efficient scheduling helps optimize the use of your GPU resources, leading to greater overall earnings.

Device Dashboard

Clicking on "Detail" will take you to the dashboard for each device, where you can review its specific performance metrics.

● Basic Information: View the device’s status, readiness, GPUs, and operating system. Location and Services are displayed on the right.

● Connectivity Tier: Displays the upload and download speeds.

● PoW Score: The blue bar, visible at first glance, represents the PoW (Proof of Work) score, which measures the amount of work completed by the connected GPU. This is a key metric.

● Performance Over 30 Days: The board in the top right corner displays performance history. A green indicator signifies that PoW scores are above 90 and are satisfactory, while gray indicates scores below this threshold. This feature helps visualize each device's continuous online duration.
