Key points

  • The authors present DICOMPUTE, a research framework for distributed inference that allocates requests across privately controlled, regional, and independently operated computing resources under policy-constrained scheduling.
  • The full-cost model accounts for capital amortization, energy, network transfer, orchestration, utilization, failures, and trust-related expenses.
  • An illustrative scenario with hypothetical parameters yields a break-even volume of 5.625 million requests per month.
  • The privacy model separates data residency, transport confidentiality, execution confidentiality, and verifiable accounting.
  • The authors propose falsifiable hypotheses and a reproducible experimental design, without presenting simulated examples as measured performance.
  • They conclude conditionally that centralized clusters retain structural advantages for tightly coupled, memory-intensive, high-throughput inference.
