The genesis of traceless computing

It started with a cloud bill and a phone.

Told first-hand by Dinanath Gupt, Founder, CEO & CTO of Omnira: how one cloud job on a phone became a way to run any code on any device, and leave nothing behind.

One phone, one cloud job

0 bytes on its disk

Where it began: a real service, running on a phone. Pixel 8 Pro: 9-core CPU, 12 GB RAM.

Three steps

From one phone to traceless computing.

  • A growing cloud bill

    I was looking for a way to cut our Google Cloud bill.

  • A supercomputer in my pocket

    My Pixel 8 Pro has a 9-core CPU and 12 GB of RAM. So I ran a cloud job on it.

  • It worked

    A real service ran on a phone. Then three problems showed up.

  • Every job had to be installed

    Each job put its code on the phone’s disk first.

  • Logs and files piled up

    Data, logs and temp files filled the phone’s storage.

  • Privacy and security, both ways

    Someone else’s code could read or write my phone’s storage, and anyone hosting my job could see what it runs.

  • No local storage, only compute

    The service binary is fetched straight into RAM. 0 bytes written or read on the local disk.

  • Only the customer’s storage

    The service reads and writes only through the customer’s API. Audit, trace and observability logs go back to customer storage.

  • Owners in full control

    Device owners opt in, and decide when and how much their devices share.

Then almost every device in my house joined one fleet:

  • Pixel 8 Pro
  • Samsung Galaxy S22
  • iPhone*
  • Other phones
  • iPad*
  • Chromecast
  • NVIDIA Shield
  • TVs
  • Laptops
  • Older desktops
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Wi-Fi router

* iOS devices run through a workaround today, due to OS restrictions.

Solving those three problems solved a bigger one: any code, any device, any network. That became traceless computing.

Our missionTo make confidential computing power universally accessible.
