NODE DELIVERY · PLAIN-WORDS GUIDE · THE SIGNED TERMS GOVERN
Every reservation sold in the Genesis Auction is backed by real machines.
This page shows what the machine is, how it arrives, and how you work on it.
THE MACHINE
A dedicated whole node, yours alone for the term of your reservation:
- GPUS
- 8× NVIDIA H100 SXM5, 80 GB HBM3 each
- GPU INTERCONNECT
- NVLink / NVSwitch across all 8 GPUs in the node.No InfiniBand between nodes.
- REGION
- North America
- TENANCY
- Single tenant. The whole node is yours for the full term.
HOW YOUR NODE ARRIVES
- 1.You give us your team's SSH public keys.
- 2.You pick the software base: a standard GPU-ready Linux image, or a custom image you supply that mirrors your existing environment.
- 3.The node comes up with your keys installed. You get root access and your own kernel from the first minute.
Your node is delivered as a full virtual machine with all 8 GPUs and the NVLink fabric passed through, so performance inside the VM matches bare metal.
YOUR SOFTWARE, YOUR LAYOUT
You control everything from the OS up: install system packages, run bare processes, bring a container stack (Docker, Apptainer), or run your own scheduler. Directory paths and tooling are yours to define, so existing scripts run as-is once your data is transferred. This is raw infrastructure, not a managed platform: we do not operate schedulers, frameworks, or workloads for you.
ACCESS & DATA TRANSFER
Access is over SSH. Move data with standard tools (scp, rsync). There is no separate vendor portal to learn. Image selection, re-provisioning, and other lifecycle requests go through us as a single point of contact.
DATA HANDLING
Your node is single tenant for the full term. Your data lives only inside your machine's disks. When the machine is torn down, at the end of your term or on a rebuild you request, those disks are destroyed with it; nothing survives. Each new term starts from a fresh machine built from a clean base image, so no prior customer's data is reachable. Copy anything you want to keep off the node before your end date.
TERM & HANDBACK
Your reservation is a fixed calendar window. It starts and ends on schedule, and unused time does not roll over. At the end of the window the machine is torn down and its disks are destroyed.
