Noob question: is there a site where you can provide you equipment to help process data and gain credits for further use?

Hey people!

​

I was thinking about something, sometimes we are not using our pcs at full charge, but is there a platform where you could provide your GPU/CPU to help in the DL development and win credits with it to use in your own project later?

​

This way instead going for paying cloud computing, people could help other persons and in times of need using this credit (like a karma thing) as credit for using another persons computer?

​

Sorry if the idea is surreal, I am a noob from neuro entering now in the DL =)

Not exactly what you're asking for, but related: BOINC Project by Berkeley, and Folding@Home, and other @home projects

The idea has been explored by vast.so and runpod. Not exactly credit but real cash.

I've also thought about this but didn't find anything. I love the idea.

This is gonna sound like a shill, but throwing it out there anyway for your edification: check out the Golem Network
