Lium Subnet Documentation

Welcome to Lium.io powered by Bittensor Subnet 51! This project enables a decentralized, peer-to-peer GPU rental marketplace, connecting miners who contribute GPU resources with users who need computational power. Our frontend interface is available at lium.io, where you can easily rent machines from the subnet.

Introduction

The Compute Subnet on Bittensor is a decentralized network that allows miners to contribute their GPU resources to a global pool. Users can rent these resources for computational tasks, such as machine learning, data analysis, and more. The system ensures fair compensation for miners based on the quality and performance of their GPUs.

High-Level Architecture

• Miners: Provide GPU resources to the network, evaluated and scored by validators.
• Validators: Securely connect to miner machines to verify hardware specs and performance. They maintain the network's integrity.
• Renters: Rent computational resources from the network to run their tasks.
• Frontend (lium.io): The web interface facilitating easy interaction between miners and renters.
• Bittensor Network: The decentralized blockchain in which the compensation is managed and paid out by the validators to the miners through its native token, $TAO.

Getting Started

For Renters

If you are looking to rent computational resources, you can easily do so through the Compute Subnet. Renters can:

1. Visit lium.io and sign up.
2. Browse available GPU resources.
3. Select machines based on GPU type, performance, and price.
4. Deploy and monitor your computational tasks using the platform's tools.

To start renting machines, visit lium.io and access the resources you need.

Command-Line Alternative: For renters who prefer working from the terminal, you can also use lium-cli - a command-line interface that allows you to manage GPU pods, SSH into machines, transfer files, and execute commands directly from your terminal. Install it with pip install lium-cli.

For Miners

Miners can contribute their GPU-equipped machines to the network. The machines are scored and validated based on factors like GPU type, number of GPUs, bandwidth, and overall GPU performance. Higher performance results in better compensation for miners.

If you are a miner and want to contribute GPU resources to the subnet, please refer to the Miner Setup Guide for instructions on how to:

• Set up your environment.
• Install the miner software.
• Register your miner and connect to the network.
• Get compensated for providing GPUs!

For Validators

Validators play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the Compute Subnet by verifying the hardware specifications and performance of miners’ machines. Validators ensure that miners are fairly compensated based on their GPU contributions and prevent fraudulent activities.
