Pictor's GPU Aggregator Model

General GPU Aggregator Model

In this GPU Aggregator Model, Pictor acts as a bridge between 3D Creators and global GPU Render Farms, providing a unified platform to streamline 3D rendering workflows.

Participants in this model include 3D Creators, Pictor, and Render Farms.

1. 3D Creator

Artists, studios, or organizations that require rendering services for their 3D projects. Instead of researching and working with multiple render farms individually, they can use the Pictor platform to access various rendering resources in one place. Through Pictor’s single interface, they can submit jobs, monitor progress, review results, and receive final results seamlessly.

2. Pictor

Pictor acts as an aggregator, connecting 3D Creator to global Render Farms. Pictor combines the fragmented rendering ecosystem into a single, cohesive network, ensuring compatibility, transparency, and efficiency.

3. Render Farm

Render Farms supplies the GPU computational power for 3D jobs submitted via Pictor. They provide rendering services, including hardware resources and software resources. By integrating with Pictor, they enable Creators to access their resources through a unified platform.

4. Checker Nodes

Checker Nodes are the trusted validators of the decentralized GPU network. They monitor job specs, progress, and results, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and trust for the entire system.

GPU Aggregator Flow for 3D Rendering

1

Job Submission

3D creators submit jobs through Pictor Cloud. Metadata describing the job is recorded by Checker Nodes on-chain.

2

Cost Calculation

The Pictor protocol calculates the required $PICTOR tokens or USD based on job complexity and resource needs. This information is attached in a smart contract and sent across the Pictor network.

3

Task Allocation

Jobs are split into smaller tasks and distributed to compatible Render Farms based on the most optimal cost and time routes. Task metadata is recorded on-chain.

4

Job Processing

Render Farms process tasks and send regular progress updates to Pictor Cloud so 3D Creators can monitor task progress in real-time.

5

Validation

Checker Nodes validate rendered outputs to ensure compliance with job requirements. Metadata for each frame and render completion time is recorded on-chain.

6

Payment and Delivery

Upon successful validation, rendered outputs are delivered to 3D Creators. Payment is released via smart contract to Render Farms and details are logged on-chain for transparency.
