How Flux works?

Harnessing Global Computational Resources for Efficient Machine Learning

Flux transforms idle computing power from devices around the world into a cohesive processing network. This network tackles machine learning tasks quickly and efficiently by distributing the workload across multiple devices. Here's a step-by-step overview of how it works:

Step 1: Data and Model Preparation

• Model Conversion: Users convert their machine learning models into a format that’s compatible with Flux (ONNX or TensorFlow). This ensures that the models can be executed uniformly across different types of hardware.

• Data Segmentation: The dataset is split into small segments, each forming a "microtask." These microtasks are designed to be processed in approximately three seconds or less, making them manageable for a wide range of devices.

Step 2: Task Submission and Distribution

• Task Submission: Users submit their prepared models and data segments to Flux via our API.

• Dynamic Distribution: Flux's intelligent distribution system allocates these microtasks to available devices on the network. This system considers factors like device capability, current load, and geographical location to optimize task distribution.

Step 3: Processing

• Secure Computing: Each device processes its assigned microtasks using homomorphic encryption. This technology allows devices to compute on encrypted data, ensuring that they cannot access the underlying data they are processing.

• Efficiency and Speed: By leveraging devices that would otherwise be idle, Flux completes tasks faster and more cost-effectively than traditional cloud computing services.

Step 4: Aggregation and Results

• Data Aggregation: Once all microtasks are completed, the results are sent back to the Flux servers. Here, a meta-learning model aggregates the results. This model is trained to effectively combine outputs from diverse segments, maintaining high accuracy and integrity of the final output.

• Result Retrieval: Users can retrieve the aggregated results through the Flux API. These results are ready for further analysis or integration into larger data processing workflows.

Step 5: Continuous Optimization

• Learning and Adaptation: Flux continuously learns from task performance data to improve distribution algorithms and encryption techniques, ensuring optimal efficiency and security.

• Feedback Mechanism: Users can provide feedback on task outcomes, which Flux uses to further refine its processes and models.

Key Technologies Powering Flux

• Homomorphic Encryption: Ensures that all data processed on the platform remains confidential, with computations performed on encrypted data without needing to decrypt it.

• Distributed Computing: Utilizes a network of devices to distribute and process tasks in parallel, dramatically speeding up the machine learning operations.

• Meta-Learning Techniques: Employs advanced algorithms to combine results from individual tasks into a coherent and accurate final result, overcoming the challenges of data segmentation.
