# Integration Process

<mark style="background-color:blue;">**Process for Compute Providers to Connect:**</mark>

1. **Access the Provider Interface:** Compute providers first need to log in to the DSC platform's Provider interface.
2. **Enter/Select Hardware Specifications:** In the Provider interface, providers need to fill in or select the specifications of the hardware devices they plan to connect, such as GPU models and CPU specifications.
3. **Configure GPUs/CPUs:** Following platform prompts, compute providers must configure their GPUs or CPUs to ensure they are compatible with the DSC platform and function correctly.
4. **Successfully Connect Hardware:** Once configured, the hardware devices will be connected to the DSC network, becoming available as compute resources.
5. **View Hardware Status and Earnings:** Compute providers can view the status of their hardware devices and receive rewards and earnings based on the compute power they provide through the Provider interface.

1. **Access the User Interface:** Compute users need to log in to the DSC platform's User interface.
2. **Create Work Clusters/Containers:** Users need to establish their work clusters or containers within the User interface, which serve as the environment for running AI applications.
3. **Select Compute Resources:** Based on the requirements of their AI applications, users can select the necessary compute resources, including the type and quantity of CPUs or GPUs.
4. **Complete Configuration and Start Using:** After configuration, users can launch their AI applications and begin utilizing the compute resources provided by the DSC platform.
5. **Monitor Usage Status and Handle Payment Settlement:** During use, users can monitor the status of the compute resources and complete payment and settlement after their usage ends.
