WebCompute

Canonical draft

Explainer

The WebCompute explainer is the canonical narrative introduction to the research problem, proposed direction, vocabulary, architecture sketch, non-goals, and open questions. It is a draft, not a specification, standard, product promise, or runtime API.

The explainer is available in the canonical repository. It should change as the foundation reports become source-backed research.
  • problem statement
  • developer and user need
  • proposed direction
  • core vocabulary
  • architecture sketch
  • execution lifecycle
  • alternatives considered
  • security and privacy considerations
  • open questions
  • path to the first experiment

The fastest accurate picture of the project is the homepage, the architecture overview, and the canonical research files in simplbase/webcompute.
