GPU Renting

Pictor's core service for GPU renting, empowering AI and HPC workloads with top-notch on-demand GPUs

Pictor Network provides an easy and cost-effective way to rent high-performance GPUs on demand. With just a few clicks, you can choose from a wide range of GPU models, configure your instance, and start running your AI and any other GPU-required workloads. The GPU Renting service is integrated directly into the Pictor App, where everything is managed in one place: from selecting the hardware to launching instances and tracking costs.

The service is organized into three main tabs within the GPU Renting sidebar on the Pictor App: Instances, Marketplace, and Billing.


Instances

The Instances tab is where you manage all of your rented machines efficiently.

You can view instance details:

  • Instance name and ID

  • Status (Starting, Running, Paused, etc.)

  • GPU (Model, GPU Count, VRAM)

  • GPU (Cores)

  • RAM

  • Storage

  • Location

  • Prices (Hourly Rate)

  • Duration (how long the instance has been created)

  • Remaining Time

And control your machine directly with multiple Action buttons, such as Stop/Start Instance, Connect Instance, Extend Time, Renew Instance, or Delete Instance.

Managing SSH Keys

To connect securely, you will need to add your SSH keys. Clicking Manage SSH Keys button opens the key management tab.

  • Add new SSH keys

  • View existing keys

  • Edit or delete saved keys

  • Track how many machines are linked to each key

Marketplace

The Marketplace tab lists all available GPU types supported by Pictor Network. This is where you can browse, filter, and search for the right GPU configuration for your workload.

List of GPU Support

  • Filter GPU count, storage, or region, or Search for a GPU

  • GPU listings include:

    • GPU model

    • Price per hour

    • VRAM, RAM, CPU specs

Rental Settings

Once you’ve selected a GPU, you move to the Rental Settings section.

Here you configure:

  • Instance name

  • Choose template (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04 VM)

  • Rental duration (hour-based, with auto-renewal option)

  • SSH key configuration

The right-hand panel shows a summary of your selection: GPU details, pricing, and your available credit balance.

Billing

The Billing tab keeps track of all transactions associated with your GPU renting activity.

You can see:

  • Date & time of each transaction

  • Amount (credits spent or refunded)

  • Description (storage charges, rental charges, refunds)

  • Transaction hash (on-chain reference)

  • Status (confirmed on-chain, e.g., SUCCESS)

Each transaction hash is clickable. When clicked, it takes you directly to AptosScan, where you can view full details of the transaction on the Aptos blockchain.


Pictor Network’s GPU Renting service combines flexibility, transparency, and powerful compute access in one streamlined app. Whether you need a single GPU for testing or multiple high-end GPUs for production workloads, the intuitive UI makes it simple to deploy, manage, and monitor everything from one dashboard.
