# Servers and GPU nodes, dedicated or shared.

Furcate, the open operating system base from Praecise, runs the servers and GPU nodes we operate as Praecise Metal. The same base runs on your own machines.

In short

Praecise Metal is the servers and GPU nodes that Praecise operates, dedicated to you or shared under Cloud, running on the open Furcate base. It is for workloads that need predictable capacity. Talk to us to set up capacity.

## At a glance.

Open

### Furcate is public.

Apache-2.0 at github.com/furcateresearch/furcate.

Live

### Cloud runs on Metal.

Praecise Cloud runs on the machines Praecise operates.

Sites

### Metal has its own site.

metal.praecise.com and a Metal console.

## Three layers.

3

### [Furcate](https://github.com/furcateresearch/furcate)

Operating system, open

The open base: identity, signed updates and the machine layer.

### [Praecise Metal](https://metal.praecise.com)

Servers and GPU nodes

The hardware Praecise operates, measured and placed.

### Praecise Cloud

Platform

Apps, agents, models, data and isolation.

## What Metal does.

6

### Measure

Instruments on the machine.

Power, thermal and cost read from the machine itself.

### Place

Work goes where it fits.

Placement against measured targets.

### Core clusters

Machines in a hall.

Operated end to end, by Praecise or by you on machines you own.

### Edge cells

A home, a shop or a district as a cluster.

Cells run on Furcate with their own control and keep working when their link is cut.

### Whole GPU nodes

Predictable capacity.

For training and heavy inference.

### Engine on Metal

Models served close to the machine.

Praecise Engine is the acceleration layer for the models run here.

## Choose where it runs.

On your machines

### Furcate, at home or in the office.

The same deployment runs on Furcate machines you own, whoever made them.

On Praecise Metal

### Dedicated to you, operated by Praecise.

Whole servers and GPU nodes, for workloads that need predictable capacity.

On Praecise Cloud

### Operated for you.

Hand it over and Praecise runs it. Move between the three without rewriting the application.

### What is Praecise Metal?

Servers and GPU nodes that Praecise operates, dedicated to you or shared under Praecise Cloud.

### What runs on the machines?

Furcate, the open operating system base from Praecise. The same base runs on your own machines.

### Can I use my own hardware?

Yes. One deployment runs on your machines with Furcate, on Praecise Metal, or on Praecise Cloud, without rewriting the application.

### What are edge cells?

A home, a shop or a district run as a cluster on Furcate, with its own control, that keeps working when its link is cut.

### How do I get capacity?

Talk to us. Dedicated Metal is set up by conversation.
