Edge/Consumer GPU Focus Implementation Plan

Executive Summary

This plan outlines the implementation of the "Edge/Consumer GPU Focus" feature for AITBC, leveraging existing GPU marketplace infrastructure to optimize for consumer-grade hardware and enable edge computing capabilities. The feature will enhance the platform's ability to utilize geographically distributed consumer GPUs for AI/ML workloads while implementing geo-low-latency job routing and edge-optimized inference capabilities.

Current Infrastructure Analysis

Existing GPU Marketplace Components

Based on the current codebase, AITBC already has a foundational GPU marketplace:

Domain Models (/apps/coordinator-api/src/app/domain/gpu_marketplace.py):

• GPURegistry: Tracks registered GPUs with capabilities, pricing, and status
• GPUBooking: Manages GPU booking lifecycle
• GPUReview: User feedback and reputation system

API Endpoints (/apps/coordinator-api/src/app/routers/marketplace_gpu.py):

• GPU registration and discovery
• Booking and resource allocation
• Review and reputation management

Miner Client (/scripts/gpu/gpu_miner_host.py):

• Host-based GPU miner registration
• Real-time GPU capability detection (nvidia-smi)
• Ollama integration for LLM inference
• Coordinator heartbeat and job fetching

Key Capabilities Already Present:

• GPU capability detection (model, memory, CUDA version)
• Geographic region tracking for latency optimization
• Dynamic pricing and availability status
• Ollama-based LLM inference support
