1. Requirements

Recommended hardware requirements:

• GPU: Nvidia GPU with at least 8GB vRAM and latest drivers, e.g. RTX 3090/4090 or A100/H100
• Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04 or greater on a bare metal installation, or Windows 10/11 for the Alpha preview testers
• Intel/AMD CPU with 4+ cores, 16GB+ RAM, 256GB+ free disk space
• 100 Mbps+ Internet connection up and down

Machines meeting the above specs will be much more likely to get high-reward jobs. Moreover, clients who are used to cloud services like AWS or GCP may come with high expectations, so it’s a good idea to aim for consistent uptime. When being used, the GPU will likely be running near full capacity, so make sure your internet connection, power supply, and cooling systems are in good shape.
