Silicon Data is at the leading edge of providing transparency into compute markets, I believe we’re in the early days of compute becoming the world's largest commodity, and market participants will need the infrastructure and risk management tools to efficiently navigate volatility and make informed decisions in this rapidly changing environment. Carmen and her team have a profound understanding of these dynamics, and we’re excited to support what they are building.

Silicon Data’s data aggregating capabilities would also make the development of compute market indices – which would track the price performance of a basket of GPU platforms in a similar fashion to a traditional financially settled commodity index – a very real possibility, further emphasizing how our product suite would secure widespread and democratic access to the buying and selling of compute products for all our customers.
