How to Use the Platform
Consumer and Provider roles
SLYD serves two audiences: those looking to rent GPU compute, those looking to monetize their hardware by providing it, and often both.
Consumer
End users who rent and use compute resources. Deploy instances, install applications, and manage resources.
- Deploy compute instances
- Install applications
- Monitor usage and costs
- Access via secure tunnels
Provider
Organizations that provide hardware resources to the SLYD marketplace, earning revenue from usage.
- Register hardware resources
- Set pricing and availability
- Monitor utilization
- Track revenue and payouts
