We believe in the power of science and a knowledge-based approach to life in general. So we’re proud to be a part of several community grid computing projects which work to solve open problems in medicine, environmental science, and mathematics.
Our contributions
We currently are, or previously have been, active in
- World Community Grid (bioinformatics, drug discovery, climatology)
- Folding@Home (bioinformatics, drug discovery)
- DENIS@Home (bioinformatics, drug discovery)
- Milkyway@Home (astrophysics, cosmology)
- Einstein@Home (astrophysics)
- Rosetta@Home (bioinformatics, drug discovery)
- GPUGrid (bioinformatics, drug discovery)
- Asteroids@Home (astronomy)
You can check out our detailed stats across all projects.
Project stats
A WU is a “workunit”; a packet of computational tasks sent by the
project and returned when complete.

Our fleet
These machines run 24/7/365, fully dedicated to crunching workunits for BOINC and FAH.
| Machine | CPU | Cores | RAM | GPU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| node01 | Ryzen 5950X | 16c32t | 32GB | RTX 3060 Ti |
| node02 | Ryzen 5950X | 16c32t | 32GB | — |
| node03 | Ryzen 5950X | 16c32t | 32GB | — |
| 48c96t | 96GB |
They have some common components:
- Fractal Pop Air chassis
- Gigabyte B550M DS3H motherboard
- Noctua NH-C14S CPU cooler
- EVGA 650W 80+Gold PSU
Additionally, my personal desktop does crunching part-time for FAH:
| Machine | CPU | Cores | RAM | GPU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| nodeff | Ryzen 5600X | 6c12t | 16GB | RTX 3060 Ti |
Fleet upcycling
We maximize the utility of our fleet by turning upgraded parts into new machines that we give to people who can use them to do even more good work.
Our development projects
- We develop the Homefarm fleet orchestration suite
- We created the Greenhouse multi-machine chassis project
- For testing Homefarm on ARM CPUs, we created Greenroom
