SaladCloud Documentation
Information, Tutorials, How-To Guides and API Reference for SaladCloud Products
Introduction
SaladCloud is the world’s largest fully distributed cloud, suitable for a wide range of compute-intensive applications, from generative AI inference to molecular simulations.
Applications on SaladCloud are deployed as docker containers, scaled out horizontally to idle compute resources from SaladCloud’s network of millions of devices. This allows SaladCloud to offer the most competitive pricing in the industry, while providing the flexibility to scale up or down as needed.
SaladCloud is comprised of million of privately owned devices, primarily gaming PCs, running the SaladCloud agent. When these devices are not in use by their owners, SaladCloud assigns containers to run on them, paying the device owner for their compute time. You can think of it like AirBnB for compute. Learn more about how SaladCloud works, and how we ensure security and privacy for both device owners and container operators.
