# Scientific Compute

Scientific Compute is Picoin’s long-term infrastructure layer for distributed scientific and AI workloads.

The system is designed to support future workloads such as:

* AI inference;
* distributed GPU tasks;
* scientific simulations;
* data processing;
* mathematical computation;
* open-source AI execution.

The protocol currently implements the accounting and governance foundation for this future marketplace directly in L1.

The actual compute marketplace will later evolve into a dedicated L2 execution layer.
