Hosts
Install the PCHUB agent once. It inventories CPU, GPU, RAM, disk, and uplink — then pulses health in the background.

Bare-metal desktops.Rented by the minute.
PCHUB connects verified host machines to renters who need full Windows power — gaming, dev, design. Agents run silent. Sessions spin up isolated. You pay only for active compute.

Architecture
Three-node marketplace
Hosts supply idle compute. Renters consume it. PCHUB handles trust, isolation, and payments.
Renters
Browse verified machines by spec, latency, and rate. Full remote desktop — billed only while you're connected.
- ▸Filter by GPU & region
- ▸Minute-metered
- ▸Personal cloud layer
Network
Matchmaking, verification, billing, and session orchestration. Trust layer for distributed desktop compute.
- ▸Automated self-tests
- ▸Live usage ledger
- ▸Reliability scoring
Protocol
Session lifecycle
From agent install to payout — the end-to-end flow we ship on pchub.cloud.
- 01
Agent deploy
Lightweight Windows service on boot. Secure channel to PCHUB control plane — no open windows required.
- 02
Spec scan
Hardware inventory plus uplink benchmark. CPU, GPU, NVMe, and upload Mbps verified before listing.
- 03
Fleet listing
Host sets rate and region. Live card shows bench score, latency class, and availability state.
- 04
Session start
Renter authenticates, selects a node, toggles power on. Meter starts when the desktop is reachable.
- 05
Isolated runtime
Agent provisions reserved compute in an isolated VM or container. Stream credentials issued to renter.
- 06
Teardown
Power off ends the meter. Ephemeral disk wiped. Optional personal layer syncs back to cloud.
Host layer
Silent agent. Full isolation.
The PCHUB agent is a background service — like a launcher daemon. Boot-time start, minimal idle CPU, heavy work only during benchmarks or active rentals.
Idle state
- ▸ Heartbeat every 30s — online & healthy
- ▸ Light inventory refresh
- ▸ Awaits session commands from control plane
- ▸ No impact on daily PC use
Owner + renter coexist
Renters never touch your Windows login or files. The agent spins an isolated VM with reserved cores and RAM. You keep the host OS; they get a shadow desktop.
GPU routing
Consumer GPUs need idle-only or dedicated-session modes. Enterprise partitioning (MIG, SR-IOV) on the roadmap for pro hosts.

Idle-only
List when AFK. Full node to renter.
Shared
VM alongside you. Capped resources.
Telemetry
Verified hardware profile
Inventory on install, benchmark before listing, periodic re-checks to catch drift or misreporting.
