Connect machines
Install the PlanetNodes agent on computers owned by you or people you trust.
PlanetNodes Cluster
Turn computers you trust into one private compute cluster.
Coordinate machines at home, school, a lab, or an office. Send independent tasks to available hardware and collect every result from one control plane.

Sign in to create your first private cluster.
How it works
One queue. Many trusted machines.
Create a private pool
Invite specific machines and choose who can submit work to them.
Submit a batch
Send independent tasks with their hardware, time, and concurrency requirements.
Distribute tasks
The scheduler assigns each task to a capable machine that is currently available.
Collect results
Track progress in one place and retrieve logs, status, and output artifacts.
What it does
Distributes independent jobs across separate computers and gathers their outputs.
What it does not do
It does not turn 10 GB on three computers into one virtual computer with 30 GB of shared RAM.
Good workloads
Useful anywhere work can be split.
School rendering lab
Use idle classroom computers after hours to render independent frames or process student projects.
University research
Run simulations, parameter sweeps, dataset transformations, or evaluations across trusted lab machines.
Software company
Share test, build, and automation capacity across developer workstations and office servers.
Media studio
Distribute transcodes, proxies, thumbnails, and render batches without sending every job to public cloud.
Private by membership
You choose the boundary.
Invite-only machines
Only explicitly enrolled computers appear in the cluster.
Named operators
Control who can connect hardware and who can submit jobs.
Workload limits
Set concurrency, resource, time, and scheduling constraints.
Auditable results
Keep job status, logs, and output records together.
Optional marketplace overflow
Your private cluster stays the default.
If a suitable private machine is unavailable, you may choose to route eligible, non-confidential jobs to marketplace providers. Overflow is a deliberate policy choice—not automatic exposure.
