GAIMIN has launched video playback on services provided by gaimin.cloud, GAIMIN’s distributed and decentralized data processing network.
GAIMIN’s video rendering service is a lower cost service that provides faster response time while spreading the data processing power consumption footprint globally using PCs already running other applications and services and solves one of the biggest digital problems in the world today.
“The world is running out of data processing power”
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft
In 2020, it was estimated that 1.145 trillion Mb of data was created per day; each human created approximately 1.7 Mb of data per second. In 2022, 91% of Instagram users engage with brand videos, users send 650 million Tweets per day, 333 billion emails are sent per day, 42 million WhatsApp messages are sent per day , Google handles 6 billion searches per day and there are 4.95 billion active users of social networks (62% of the world’s population). A low definition 480p video streamed on YouTube uses 8.3Mb of data per minute, 500Mb per hour. A higher quality 1080p video uses more data! A SnapChat uses 1Mb of data. The world is running out of data processing power!
As video consumption is expected to grow, more video producers will create longer, higher quality video content that must be converted (rendered) into the output video. Video creation is a data processing intensive activity, further increasing the data processing requirement in this already competitive market for data processing service availability.
Centralized vs. Decentralized Data Processing Services
Centralized data processing farms are well established, but they are not the most suitable solution. They are expensive to install and maintain, draw significant amounts of electricity from the local distribution grid both to run data processing devices and to run infrastructure such as air conditioning and refrigeration hardware, affecting supply in the locality Centralized data processing farms are expensive to set up and maintain and can also have limited physical growth, which is reflected in the cost of providing a service!
A cheaper, more efficient, and environmentally friendly approach is to decentralize data processing, spread service delivery across the globe, and use devices that are already running and doing “something else,” thus spreading consumption and usage. of energy around the world, in different time zones and with very little additional increase in energy consumption.
The next question is, “How can you get efficient data processing when the data processing devices are already in use?”
GAIMIN has also solved this problem!
Underutilized sources of data processing power
GAIMIN has identified an underutilized source of data processing power: the GPUs found in gaming PCs! When a gamer plays his games, he is not using his GPU to its full potential, especially when he plays with higher performance GPUs. Underutilized processing power on these GPUs can be leveraged to provide access to other data processing services while still being used for gaming.
GAIMIN allows a player to allow their GPU to be used to participate in gaimin.cloud (www.gaimin.cloud), GAIMIN’s decentralized data processing network. The player can select when gaimin.cloud can access their GPU and also select the amount of processing power that can be allocated to gaimin.cloud. This feature allows a player to continue playing a game without lag or game interference when the GPU is processing data processing jobs for gaimin.cloud.
This is especially useful for lower performing devices that can affect gameplay when used for additional data processing services. Higher performing GPUs can perform multiple processing activities without any noticeable impact on other services or games.
How does a player participate in gaimin.cloud?
Participation is simple: a user downloads and installs the GAIMIN application for their PC (www.gaimin.gg), registers with GAIMIN, and the application immediately confirms its availability for use within gaimin.cloud, and “jobs” of data processing as soon as it becomes available.
Players are rewarded for their participation in gaimin.cloud with GAIMIN’s own cryptocurrency, GMRX, which is an important component in the GAIMIN ecosystem.
So back to video producers and their data processing requirements.
Why do video producers need data processing power?
When a video producer creates a video, they typically add additional content to the video using a video production application, such as Blender or Adobe Premiere Pro. Additional content includes animation, sound, special effects, text, graphics, etc. All of these are added in the video editing process and then when the video is complete, the video producer needs to “flatten” the file to create the video. File flattening (or rendering) is the creation of individual frames for the video that contain the relevant video elements for the frame into a single image. Rendering requires a significant amount of processing power to create each frame that comprises the video.
Rendering is an intensive data processing task. The longer the video, the more complex the elements, the longer it will take to render. Video producers can render themselves using their own GPU, however, typically a single GPU can take days to render complex video, so video producers send their video to specialized render farms that render the video and return the rendered output. This is expensive as render farms charge based on the processing power used to render the video, and their costs comprise the fixed costs to provide the render farm hardware and software environment, and their consumption costs of power to provide the facility.
Why should video producers use gaimin.cloud to render their videos?
GAIMIN has solved the problem of cheaper, faster and high performance rendering services. Using its decentralized distributed data processing network, GAIMIN takes video and sends it for rendering to devices on gaimin.cloud. Since GAIMIN has no fixed costs associated with providing data processing devices, GAIMIN is able to provide video producers with access to fast and inexpensive playback services.
GAIMIN rewards players who enable their devices to participate in gaimin.cloud with up to 90% of the revenue generated by GAIMIN for the provision of data processing services, paid in GMRX. Therefore, a player can generate a passive return for allowing gaimin.cloud to use their GPU.
What video editing software is compatible with gaimin.cloud?
GAIMIN, which currently supports Blender video production software, recently launched its rendering service and opened it up for video producers to try. In a few months, GAIMIN will launch rendering services for Adobe Premiere Pro, with a couple of others in the pipeline as well.
How can you test rendering services?
GAIMIN will send a $20 bonus to the first 50 people who want to try GAIMIN’s rendering service. This currently only works for Blender video playback, so only apply if you use Blender. As GAIMIN releases support for other video editing software, separate vouchers will be issued.
Please send an email to [email protected] to receive your bonus. Please provide your name and address, confirm that you are using Blender, and provide feedback about the service. All we ask in return is that you give us some feedback on the service and how we can improve rendering provision to video producers.
