A system that aggregates idle Apple Silicon GPUs for inference
Research paper
Apple researchers introduced Minions, a distributed virtual GPU cloud that aggregates idle Apple Silicon GPUs across macOS devices to run large-scale machine learning inference workloads.
The system aims to reduce reliance on centralized GPU infrastructure by leveraging existing hardware, providing fault tolerance and efficient resource utilization.
