Juice Glossary

Agent: The software component running on a machine that shares its GPU resources with the Juice system.

Client: The software component that users install on their local machines to connect to and use remote GPUs.

Labels: Key-value pairs attached to Agents (GPU-hosting machines) to categorize and organize them based on specific attributes.

M2M (Machine-to-Machine) Token: A secure authentication method used for automated processes or long-running tasks in Juice, allowing access without interactive user login.

Match Labels: Criteria used when creating sessions to ensure that the session is assigned to an Agent with specific labels.

Organization: The top-level entity in Juice, typically representing a company, institution, or department. Organizations can contain multiple pools and users.

Pool: A group of shared GPUs within an organization. Pools are used to organize and manage GPU resources and control user access.

Session: An active connection between a user and a shared GPU, established when a user runs an application or requests GPU resources.

Taints: Attributes applied to Agents to repel certain workloads unless they explicitly tolerate the taint, used for specialized hardware or compliance requirements.

Tolerations: Specifications used when creating sessions to allow workloads to run on Agents with specific taints.
