About iEx.ec

iExec is the leading provider of blockchain-based decentralized computing. Blockchain is utilized to organize a market network where people can monetize their computing power as well as applications and even datasets.

It does this by providing on-demand access to cloud computing resources. IExec can support applications in fields such as big data, healthcare, AI, rendering and fintech. IExec was founded on Oct. 16, 2016, with the goal to reinvent cloud computing through the creation of a new cloud computing paradigm.

As such, iExec relies on the XtremWeb-HEP, an open-source desktop grid software that implements features such as multi-applications, fault-tolerance, multi-users, deployment of virtual images, private infrastructure, data management, security and much more.

Features

- Will allow on-demand, secure and low-cost access to computing infrastructures for traditional customers
- Dapps will rely on iEx.ec to automatically search, find, provision, use, release all the computing resources they need: applications, data, and servers
- Will allow rapid monetisation of existing computing resources for home users or additional monetisation for existing infrastructure providers like miners

Application areas:
● Blockchain-based Cloud Computing
● Video transcoding
● Physics Simulation
● Digital signal processing (DSP)
● Physics Computation (ISDEP)
● Audio Analysis
● Optimization Algorithms
