Detailed Explanation
StarMiner continuously monitors workload saturation using both statistical metrics and threshold signals:
Queue Saturation Ratio
Jobs queued vs. compute slots available
Node Availability Score
% of active, validated Provider Nodes in a tier or zone
Wait Time Threshold
Maximum task delay per SLA
Demand Delta
Surge in job submission vs. average rolling baseline
Regional Imbalance
Traffic distribution skewed toward one geo-zone
Spillover is automatically initiated when one or more of these conditions exceed tolerance limits dynamically preventing compute bottlenecks.
2. Spillover Matrix Formation
Once triggered, the system generates a multivariate matrix of fallback options, analyzing possible target zones, tiers, and hardware classes using:
Latency trade-off modeling
Hardware capability mapping
Cost sensitivity modeling
Jurisdictional constraints (for data residency or AI compliance use cases)
Each spillover route is scored and ranked based on an algorithmic cost-benefit calculation, with constraints weighted by task type (e.g., latency-sensitive inference vs. batch rendering).
The matrix accounts for:
Hardware class equivalency (e.g., fallback from H100 to A100 with time penalty adjustment)
Cross-tier mobility (e.g., temporarily rerouting premium jobs to high-performing standard-tier nodes)
Task delay tolerance, defined by requester or protocol policy
Geographic redundancy (e.g., from Singapore to Seoul or from Frankfurt to Warsaw)
3. Execution Flow During Spillover
Job Encapsulation The compute task is containerized and hashed. Metadata is updated with revised routing conditions.
Spillover Routing The system reassigns the task to a qualified node based on the spillover matrix. This occurs within milliseconds.
Updated Compute Contract A modified smart contract is generated or amended with new execution parameters, tier fee structure, and AGPU cost bounds.
Execution and Confirmation The job is executed on the fallback node. SLA adherence is monitored, and completion status is submitted through standard verification.
Audit and Compensation If a user’s budget is exceeded due to forced tier elevation, the protocol may offer automatic AGPU rebates or governance-approved credits through retroactive pool incentives.
4. Tiers of Spillover Strategy
StarMiner implements tiered fallback logic across four dimensions:
A. Regional Spillover
Fallback between physical regions or compute zones, based on:
Latency tolerance
Political/trade restrictions
Energy policy considerations (e.g., clean compute preference)
B. Tier Spillover
Reallocation from Premium → Standard → Economy (or in reverse) depending on task urgency and node reputation.
C. Hardware Class Spillover
Fallback to alternative GPU classes (e.g., RTX 4090 vs. A100) using performance benchmarking normalization curves.
D. Temporal Spillover
Incentivized job delay or requeueing during peak periods in exchange for reduced cost or AGPU cashback.
5. Governance-Tunable Parameters
AMAX governance can update:
Spillover thresholds (congestion %, wait time ceilings)
Region prioritization and exclusion (e.g., embargoed or volatile markets)
Penalties for consistently underperforming zones
Tier rebalancing incentives (to address persistent overuse of Premium class)
Limits on delay-based spillover for regulated workloads (e.g., biotech or legal AI)
All spillover decisions are executed through on-chain logic auditable, adjustable, and resistant to censorship or manipulation.
6. Economic and Strategic Impact
The Matrix Spillover Mechanism offers several systemic advantages:
Throughput
Maintains high global job execution rates even under demand surges
Incentive Efficiency
Redistributes AGPU flow to underutilized providers, promoting protocol-wide health
Equity
Prevents monopolization of jobs by large regional clusters or hardware owners
Resilience
Enables rapid rerouting around geopolitical outages, energy blackouts, or regional market shifts
Flexibility
Supports enterprise SLAs and user-grade affordability in the same network
