Computational power had always been the bottleneck to the expansion of the Internet, until the age of cloud computing. The biggest paradigm shifts in the demand for high-performance computing are taking place in areas such as AI and cloud gaming, and today’s traditional products are struggling to keep pace with such growing demands. In particular, the industry is struggling with a “triple conundrum” encompassing cost, efficiency, and user experience. In this article, we will explore the HPChain core technology and how it solves this critical challenge of the industry.
The Computational Power Supply “Triple Conundrum”
As of 2022, the global gaming population exceeded 3 billion, with over 200 million dedicated cloud gaming users. Projections suggest that by 2025, cloud gaming users will surpass 500 million, marking the onset of a period of explosive growth with significant potential. At the same time, mobile usage continues to boom globally. By 2025, the number of mobile users worldwide is projected to reach 7.49 billion, while the total population is expected to reach over 8.19 billion. Which means more than 91% of the world’s population uses mobile devices, with 37% (3 billion people) of whom are mobile gamers.
These statistics reflect the changing user preferences and consumption patterns. Today’s users are becoming increasingly reliant on cloud-based and mobile-based solutions, moving away from on-premise, centralized providers in favor of decentralized solutions located closer to them for on-the-go connectivity. At the same time, the demand for resource-heavy technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) has and is continuing to grow rapidly. All of these factors combined put a significant strain on the supply of computing power, forcing them to continuously upgrade and expand their infrastructure to meet the growing demands of the market.
This causes significant expense and efficiency challenges as well as user experience complications for providers, most of whom are still centralized. Firstly, centralized structures mean concentration of risk. On top of this, centralized platforms lack transparency not only in how they are utilizing the user’s computational resources but also their personal data. And last but certainly not least, centralized cloud computing platforms create an imbalanced distribution of rewards between cloud computing manufacturers versus users who contribute to creating these ecosystems, where the former reaps most of the benefits leaving very little left for the users and consumers.
How HPChain’s Core Technology Solves The Market Issue
As the premier DePIN platform, HPChain utilizes our novel “Cloud & Chain” model built on the blockchain using a distributed cloud platform as the point of entry to create a robust, cost-effective, and accessible computational power supply and demand ecosystem to serve the ever-growing resource needs of today’s users and corporations. HPChain is a decentralized ecosystem that is built and shared by the global community. This participatory model encourages everyone from anywhere in the world to engage in the HPChain ecosystem, contribute computational power, develop users, and obtain rewards from the HPChain network.
Cost
HPChain’s decentralized computing engine, supporting multiple nodes, enables collaborative work of distributed nodes instead of concentrated computational resources — thus risk. We enable resource scheduling via virtualization technology that allows for dynamic online resource expansion without system interruption. By using a customized high-density server, one server can be configured with multiple independent graphics cards, which improves the price-performance ratio. This allows for greater flexibility and adaptability while reducing costs. In fact, hourly rental fees for HPChain’s GPU can cost as much as 90% cheaper than our traditional competitors.
Efficiency
Through our infrastructure of shared system resources including CPU and GPU, a balanced computational load with low latency and low jitter network transmission is maintained. Through GPU virtualization, GPU slices are allocated to virtual machines for use, hence that multiple virtual machines can share one GPU, and the video memory of each virtual machine is independent of each other and not shared.
Additionally, HPChain employs efficient compressed protocol encoding technology which fortifies data integrity and transmission efficiency. Following hard-coded technologies such as H264 and H265 and combined with Intel’s dedicated hardware decoding which will provide efficient video encoding and decoding functions to reduce the bandwidth requirements of network transmission. All of this works in tandem to ensure efficiency in resource utilization and task execution.
User Experience
For HPChain’s supply, enterprises and individuals alike can contribute computational power that meets market demand. Computational power nodes can take on various forms, including GPUs, FPGAs, and more. They can range from large-scale clusters to small and medium-sized nodes, or even individual idle computational power nodes.
The primary revenue source for these nodes derives from rental fees and token rewards paid by users. The rental fee is essentially the payment made by high-performance computing power users to purchase computational power resources through HPChain, with all transactions conducted using HPChain. The reward tokens are earned in accordance with the reward rules of HPChain’s entire network computing power. Through this tokenomy, we can enhance our platform sustainability and fairness, as well as the user experience of ecosystem participants.
