Primary Use Cases

Centrix enables cost-effective, scalable computing across multiple industries:
  1. CGI Rendering - Film, TV, and game rendering at massive scale
  2. AI/ML Training - Cost-effective model training and fine-tuning
  3. Scientific Computing - Research simulations and data analysis
  4. Blockchain Infrastructure - Node operation and smart contract indexing

CGI Rendering

Market Size

$15B globally - Films, games, architecture, product visualization

Why 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 rendered

Example Workflow

Step 1: Studio Setup
  1. Studio uploads scene file to Centrix
  2. Specifies render quality and deadline
  3. Sets budget (e.g., $5,000 for full frame)
  4. System splits into optimal render chunks
Step 2: Distribution
  1. 10,000 frames distributed to idle GPUs worldwide
  2. Providers bid on chunks based on their hardware
  3. Studio accepts optimal price/speed combo
  4. Rendering begins immediately
Step 3: Verification & Delivery
  1. Providers upload rendered frames
  2. Spot-check verification on 5-10% of frames
  3. Automatic quality assurance (artifacts, color grading)
  4. 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 = 5,000(cost)+5,000 (cost) + 500 (fees)
  • Result: 10x cost reduction + 8x speed improvement

AI/ML Training

Market Size

$90B globally - Growing 40% annually as AI adoption spreads

Why 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 only

Example: Model Training

Scenario: Startup training a 7B parameter LLM Traditional (AWS):
  • 8x NVIDIA H100 GPUs: 12/hour=12/hour = 28,800/day
  • Training time: 30 days = $864,000
  • Setup/management overhead: $50,000
Centrix:
  • Distributed training on heterogeneous providers: $3.50/hour average
  • Same 30-day training: $2,520
  • Zero setup overhead, automatic optimization
Result: 99.7% cost reduction

Use Case: Hyperparameter Optimization

Research teams often run 100+ training experiments to find optimal parameters.
Traditional: 100 × $1,000 = $100,000
Centrix: 100 × $10 = $1,000
Cost reduction: 99\%
