# Computing resource provider Compute providers refers to individuals and organizations that offer their computational capabilities to the SAGA platform, making them available for discovery and utilization by other users of the platform. Capabilities: Underlying computational resources available on owned devices; Demands: Efficient utilization of existing computational resources, with optimization criteria varying for each provider. This may include generating additional income from idle computing capacities, contributing resources to socially impactful projects, facilitating new internal or external business operations, etc.; SAGA Offer: Empower compute providers to make a selected amount of latent computational power accessible to other users through the SAGA platform, based on customized criteria, utilizing resource description and discovery APIs; SAGA Requirements: Providers are required to outline their device specifications and user preferences. SAGA will deploy a SAGA adapter on each sourced device to enable telemetry API functionality; Potential Users: Individuals and organizations possessing latent, underutilized computational power, seeking to allocate it towards socially beneficial initiatives or for earning cryptocurrency income, as well as those seeking innovative solutions for their business processes. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
