Mycelium Compute for Developers
Deterministic Compute Fabric
Overview
Mycelium Compute provides a sovereign, deterministic compute fabric that enables developers to launch workloads with cryptographic certainty and autonomous operations. Built on decentralized infrastructure, it offers transparent, verifiable computing environments with zero manual intervention.
Core Concept
Deterministic compute fabric ensures that every workload deploys exactly as intended with cryptographic verification, eliminating tampering and drift while maintaining full operational autonomy.
Core Features
Deterministic Deployments
Cryptographic verification ensures every workload deploys exactly as intended—no tampering, no drift.
Benefits:
- Cryptographic Verification: Every workload component verified before deployment
- No Configuration Drift: Environments remain exactly as specified
- Tamper Detection: Any unauthorized changes immediately identified
- Complete Reproducibility: Exact same environment every deployment
Self-Managing & Stateless Infrastructure
Fully autonomous infrastructure that scales globally without manual intervention.
Capabilities:
- Autonomous Operations: No manual intervention required for scaling
- Global Scaling: Infrastructure scales across the ThreeFold Grid
- Stateless Design: No persistent dependencies on specific hardware
- Self-Healing: Automatic recovery from failures and issues
Smart Contract-Based Deployment
Cryptographically signed contracts orchestrate every workload with transparent, tamper-proof execution.
Benefits:
- Cryptographic Signatures: Every deployment contract cryptographically signed
- Transparent Execution: All operations verifiable and auditable
- Tamper-Proof: Immutable deployment contracts
- Automated Orchestration: Smart contracts manage workload lifecycle
Multi-Workload Compatibility with Secure Boot
Run containers, VMs, and Linux workloads anywhere with stateless secure boot and continuous verification.
Capabilities:
- Container Support: Full Kubernetes and Docker compatibility
- VM Workloads: Support for virtual machine deployments
- Linux Workloads: Native Linux application support
- Secure Boot: Hardware-level verification and security
- Continuous Verification: Ongoing integrity checking
Zero-Image Integration
Mycelium Compute integrates with Mycelium Storage's Zero-Image technology for ultra-efficient deployments:
Benefits:
- Metadata-Only: Deployments use metadata instead of full artifacts
- Instant Startup: Rapid workload initialization
- Bandwidth Optimization: Minimal transfer requirements
- Global Distribution: Deploy anywhere on ThreeFold Grid
Technical Architecture
Deterministic Computing
Mycelium Compute ensures every computational step is predictable and verifiable:
- Cryptographic Verification: All computations verified before execution
- State Determinism: Same inputs always produce same outputs
- Tamper Resistance: Any modification detected immediately
- Audit Trail: Complete verification history for all operations
Stateless Infrastructure
- No Persistent State: Workloads don't depend on specific hardware
- Global Distribution: Compute resources available worldwide
- Auto-Scaling: Automatic resource allocation and scaling
- Fault Tolerance: Automatic failover and recovery
Zero-Image System
- Metadata-Only: Images represented as metadata, not full artifacts
- Instant Deployment: Rapid workload startup using metadata
- Efficient Storage: Minimal storage requirements for images
- Bandwidth Optimization: Significant reduction in transfer overhead
