Zug, Switzerland, April 24th, 2024, Chainwire
Researchers from the University of Zürich’s Communication Systems Group, in collaboration with the Acurast Association building on Polkadot and other ecosystems, have unveiled groundbreaking results in their latest study, “Performance Analysis of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks and Centralized Clouds.” This work demonstrates the viability of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) as a robust alternative to traditional centralized cloud computing platforms.
DePINs, leveraging blockchain technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), aim to enhance data sovereignty, reduce dependency on centralized models, and improve system resilience against potential failures. The research specifically highlights and evaluates Acurast, a new decentralized serverless cloud network that capitalizes on underutilized resources of smartphones to perform complex computing tasks with enhanced security and efficiency.
Sailiiliga Faataua:
- Fa'aleleia lelei: Ua fa'aalia e Acurast le gafatia e fa'atino ai galuega mamafa fa'akomepiuta e sili atu le lelei nai lo auaunaga masani ao e pei o Google Cloud Platform ma Amazon AWS.
- Malosiaga: Acurast significantly reduce power consumption, compared to existing centralized server infrastructure, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to existing solutions.
- Fa'amaoniga fa'apitoa: O le suʻesuʻega o loʻo tuʻuina atu ai faʻamaoniga faʻamaonia e lagolagoina ai faʻamanuiaga faʻapitoa o DePINs, faʻaalia ai le mafaia e Acurast ona faʻatautaia talosaga faʻapitoa faʻapitoa ma le faʻamaoni ma le taugofie.
"O le oʻo mai o tekinolosi faʻapitoa e maua ai se avanoa tulaga ese e toe mafaufau ai pe faʻafefea ona tatou faʻatautaia ma faʻaogaina atinaʻe numera," o le tala lea a Jan von der Assen, PhD student ma Junior Researcher o le Communication Systems Group (CSG) i le Iunivesite o Zurich (UZH) i luga o le galuega faatino. "E le gata ina luʻitauina e Acurast le tulaga quo ae e mafai foi ona tuʻuina atu se faʻataʻitaʻiga faʻaleleia, malupuipuia, ma gafataulimaina mo manaʻoga i le lumanaʻi."
This research marks a significant step toward understanding and harnessing the power of DePINs for computing. It opens up a real alternative to existing cloud providers for applications in all industries, especially where confidentiality is paramount.
The full research paper is publicly available and has been accepted at the upcoming DePIN Workshop of the International Conference on Blockchain Technology (ICBC) 2024.
