IPVM Grant Scope Milestone 1 - Q2 2023

[bdehaynin]

Description:

This roadmap covers the deliverables related to the grant for IPVM (see project issue here). It is a smaller part of the global roadmap for IPVM.

Objectives:

• First goal: Deliver / run a Homestar binary or container (Rust) that can parse, interpret, and execute deterministic wasm-task workflows given a configuration (Json/Ipld).
• This includes integration with libp2p, gossipsub (pub/sub receipts), and ipfs.
• Second goal: Deliver a JS/Browser library / extension for execution of Wasm deterministic workflows (of Wasm-components). MVP allows for multiple instances of peered Homestar nodes to run jobs and share receipts, but essentially only as replicants in a cluster. No remote execution based on capabilities / affinities.

Features:

• Execution Engine
  • Wasm Deterministic Execution
  • WASI Component for streaming in blocks from IPFS
• Runtime
  • Completed version of IPFS, libp2p, gossip (Network)
  • Scheduler: Parallel vs Sequential Execution of Workflow Tasks
  • Node Bootstrapping (Capability/Configuration/Mesh)
  • Registration of capabilities and task types
• Runtime:
  • JS Wasm-based Runtime
  • Runtime compatible, incl. networking via libp2p
