Node Pool

The Node Pool is a dynamic selection mechanism for nodes that have passed cognitive tests and are in an ephemeral state, meaning they are ready to serve user tasks. This system ensures high-quality inference nodes are efficiently assigned to user sessions while maintaining network reliability.

Node Lifecycle in the Ephemeral Pool

1. Node Qualification

• Nodes must pass cognitive testing to ensure they meet performance and inference quality standards.

• Once validated, they enter the ephemeral state and are placed into the Node Pool, making them available for task assignment.

2. Task Assignment

• When a user task arrives in the Session Queue, a suitable node from the Node Pool is selected.

• Once assigned, the node is marked as reserved and temporarily removed from the pool while it processes the session.

3. Node Release & Re-Validation

• After completing the assigned session, the node is released from its reserved state.

• Before it re-enters the Node Pool, it must undergo a cognitive validation check to ensure it continues to meet quality standards.

• If the validation check fails, the node will not be placed back into the pool and may require further testing or recalibration.

Key Benefits

• High-Quality Inference – Only nodes that meet performance standards are assigned to user tasks.

• Dynamic Resource Management – Nodes are continuously rotated based on demand and performance.

• Cognitive Validation – Ensures the reliability and accuracy of AI inference throughout the network.

• Efficient Session Handling – Nodes cycle between task execution and availability for optimized resource utilization.

The Node Pool for Ephemeral State ensures that only the best-performing nodes remain available for user tasks, providing a robust and scalable network infrastructure.
