INTRODUCTION
Nhat is a video editor, but he did not have
the workstation to render video after
editing. Meanwhile, Bao has a strong
hardware PC but can only play games 8hr
a day. The computing resources are
allocated in such an ineffective way, and
our project aims to solve that.

PROBLEM

Computing
SHORTAGE
In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a
semiconductor shortage by closing numerous
fabricate factories, disrupting global supply
chains, and causing a surge in demand for
consumer electronics. In that period, computer
components such as memory, hard disk, CPU,
and GPU are almost double the price.
If no timely solutions are taken, this scenario may
repeat anytime soon.
Increasing demand
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in demand for electronic
devices and digital services as people rely more on remote work, online
learning, and entertainment. Additionally, emerging technologies like 5G,
artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT) have increased the need
for semiconductors.
Capacity constraints
Building new semiconductor fabrication plants, also known as fabs, requires
significant investments and time. The industry's capacity to produce
semiconductors has struggled to keep up with the surging demand,
exacerbating the shortage.
Physical limitation
Even if the processor is adequate, there are still some difficulties when we
perform the computation; for example, you can only deploy AI training on the
server with the stable power source and heat dissipating, but these machines
are never portable and mobile as a laptop.
SOLUTION
 User
People who need to perform the computing task,
such as AI training, 3D rendering, or data annalistic,
but do no have sufficient hardware.
The user will send his work (including data and
commands) to our system through the app installed
on his device, then, that task will be sent to the
supplier side.
His work will be performed in the supplier machine;
he will also need to pay a sum of money to the
supplier.
Supplier
People who have the hardware, such as gaming
computers or personal workstations, cannot exploit
their devices every time.
The supplier will connect to our system at any time
that his device is free. After receiving a task, the app
installed on this device will automatically perform it,
then return the result to the user.
He will also receive a payment after finishing the
task.
 Options
DistriCom will provide 2 main options for users:
1. Connect directly to the cloud server of DistriCom. This
option is mainly for users who are willing to share their
working data for a simple and fast process.
2. Set up a private network with DistriCom's platform. This
option is mainly for professional departments
(companies, research teams,...) who prefer to share the
working data within the department or with
collaborators. The shared data to the DistriCom
network will be encrypted and can only be decrypted by
an authorized entity. This also means that only the
authorized hardware will be used for processing.
EXAMPLE
Comeback to the problems in the introduction, after
using DistriCom, Bao will be one of the suppliers and
connect his PC to the system after playing the game.
On the user side, Nhat sends his Adobe Premiere
workspace (including the raw video and effect) through
DistriCom to the supplier; his work will be performed on
one (or multiple) supplier's machines on the system.
After receiving the result, Nhat will pay $1 (example) for
Bao as a wage.
Competition
ANALYSIS
Similar services are centralized platforms
(Google Colab, IBM Watson Studio, Kaggle
Kernel), which could lead to dependence and
less flexibility. DistriCom will require less
hardware cost. Also, by providing service for
many types of demand, from personals user
who is willing to share their working data with
the public system to more advanced users like
departments who only want to share working
data within the department or with
collaborators, DistriCom provides a better
solution for computing and a competitive
business for investors.
