     • Limited support for AMD GPUs, though improvements are ongoing.

GPU Supply Availability: Ensuring Access to Resources

Unreal AI provides access to a global network of GPUs, ensuring that developers, artists, and miners have the resources they need when they need them.

Global Network

• Overview: Unreal AI taps into a decentralized network of GPUs contributed by users worldwide. This ensures a diverse and scalable supply of computational power.

• Availability: GPU availability may vary based on demand and network load, but our platform is designed to dynamically allocate resources to meet user needs.

Dynamic Allocation

• Process: When you deploy a GPU cluster or create a job, Unreal AI dynamically allocates the best available GPUs based on your task's requirements and the current network status.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Use the Network Status feature in the DApp to monitor GPU availability and adjust your job settings for optimal performance.

Supply Chain Management

• Strategy: Unreal AI continuously monitors the supply and demand for GPU resources, adjusting partnerships and scaling efforts to ensure that our users have consistent access to high-quality GPUs.

• Partnerships: We work closely with key suppliers and contributors to expand our GPU network, ensuring that even during peak times, resources are available.
