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 fleet
As GPU compute has become more important, we have refactored our farm of machines. We once had 96 Ryzen cores across six machines. We’re down to just one, but it still crunches 24/7, and its GPU does more work than our older ones combined.
Machine | CPU | Cores | RAM | GPU |
---|---|---|---|---|
nodeff | Ryzen 5950X | 16c32t | 32GB | RTX 4070 Super |
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
