Appendix B: Price simulation details
Table 17 contains price simulation detailed data. We are calculating the Provider's input costs, which include electricity costs and hardware depreciation. The calculations are standardized for a single GPU device.
Table 17
- Electricity Cost is calculated based on the power consumption of the device multiplied by the assumed unit price of $0.20/kW h. Hardware depreciation costs are calculated based on a general assumed depreciation rate of 25% per year for both the GPU and other PC components. 
- Provider Price: The suggested unit price for Providers is calculated as double the Provider's input costs per GPU per hour. 
- The input cost for Inferix is calculated by adding the storage costs to the Provider price. This storage cost is based on the assumption that each 3D scene requires 1 GB of short-term storage for 96 hours and 100 MB of long-term storage, with a rate of $0.05/GB per month. 
- Inferix Service Price is calculated by adding a 20% commission for Inferix Foundation to the input cost.
