Workerpool

A Workerpool is a group of computing machines (workers) managed by a Workerpool Manager that provides computational resources to execute iApp in secure environments on the iExec network.

Think of a workerpool as a computing cluster where your iApp runs. Each workerpool consists of multiple workers (machines) coordinated by a manager who ensures tasks are executed efficiently and securely.

Key Concepts

Workerpool Manager

• Resource Coordinator: Manages and organizes available computing resources
• Task Scheduler: Distributes tasks among available workers
• Network Interface: Connects the workerpool to the iExec marketplace

Workers (Computing Machines)

• TEE-enabled Hardware: Machines equipped with Trusted Execution Environments
• Task Execution: Run iApp and process protected data securely
• RLC Rewards: Earn RLC tokens for successfully completed tasks

Security & Privacy

• TEE Protection: All computations happen inside secure enclaves
• Data Isolation: Protected data never leaves the secure environment
• Proof of Contribution: Cryptographic verification of task completion

How Workerpool Work

1. Task Request: User submits a task to execute an iApp on protected data
2. Workerpool Selection: PoCo system matches request with available workerpool
3. Task Distribution: Workerpool manager assigns task to an available worker
4. Secure Execution: Worker downloads iApp and executes it in TEE environment
5. Result Delivery: Encrypted results are returned to the requester
