Hi Usr64,
You are right, the main goal of HPP platform is to build a decentralized High Performances Computing Platform which enable HPP Holders to rent HPC infrastructure (Virtual Hosts, GPUs) and pay rental fees in HPP. we are planning to achieve this Goal progressively, we will introduce new functionalities in each HPP Version, you can review our Road Map

So you want to create a decentralised HPC "cloud"...
How does the client connect to and discover the HPC services through the HPP platform?
What are the prerequisites for running a HPC worknode? I read in your post that universities' workstations and laptops may provide those services. Since when are those laptops/workstations capable of providing HPC services? They are unable to form a high network speed/HPC cluster, but on the other hand they can form a HPC grid.
What kind of HPC services will be made available? A combination of HPC grid and HPC cluster services??
I am trying to understand this difficult subject.
