Primary Use Cases
Centrix enables cost-effective, scalable computing across multiple industries:- CGI Rendering - Film, TV, and game rendering at massive scale
- AI/ML Training - Cost-effective model training and fine-tuning
- Scientific Computing - Research simulations and data analysis
- Blockchain Infrastructure - Node operation and smart contract indexing
CGI Rendering
Market Size
$15B globally - Films, games, architecture, product visualizationWhy Centrix is Ideal
Cost Savings: 70-90% cheaper than centralized render farms Scale Instantly: Access 100,000+ GPU hours on demand Global Distribution: Render from servers closest to studios Pay-Per-Frame: Only pay for frames actually renderedExample Workflow
Step 1: Studio Setup- Studio uploads scene file to Centrix
- Specifies render quality and deadline
- Sets budget (e.g., $5,000 for full frame)
- System splits into optimal render chunks
- 10,000 frames distributed to idle GPUs worldwide
- Providers bid on chunks based on their hardware
- Studio accepts optimal price/speed combo
- Rendering begins immediately
- Providers upload rendered frames
- Spot-check verification on 5-10% of frames
- Automatic quality assurance (artifacts, color grading)
- Studio receives final output in 24-48 hours
Impact Example
Animation Studio with 100,000-frame project:- Traditional render farm: 100 hours on dedicated hardware = $50,000
- Centrix: 12 hours distributed = 500 (fees)
- Result: 10x cost reduction + 8x speed improvement
AI/ML Training
Market Size
$90B globally - Growing 40% annually as AI adoption spreadsWhy Centrix is Ideal
Hyperscaling: Scale from 1 GPU to 10,000 GPUs instantly Cost Optimization: Pay market rates, not enterprise premiums Flexibility: Mix GPU types (H100, A100, RTX) for optimal cost/speed Privacy: Keep proprietary models on Centrix network onlyExample: Model Training
Scenario: Startup training a 7B parameter LLM Traditional (AWS):- 8x NVIDIA H100 GPUs: 28,800/day
- Training time: 30 days = $864,000
- Setup/management overhead: $50,000
- Distributed training on heterogeneous providers: $3.50/hour average
- Same 30-day training: $2,520
- Zero setup overhead, automatic optimization
Use Case: Hyperparameter Optimization
Research teams often run 100+ training experiments to find optimal parameters.Scientific Computing
