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 work
We’re currently active in World Community Grid, Rosetta@Home, Einstein@Home, GPUGrid, and Asteroids@Home. You can check out our detailed stats across all projects.
WCG stats
Updated every 5 years of CPU time. A WU, by the way, is a
“workunit”; a packet of computational tasks sent by the project and
returned when complete.

Other project stats
Most projects don’t provide rich statistics, so we generate some numbers from our local logs.
| Project | Team CPU Time | Team WUs | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rosetta (bioinformatics) | 7 years+ | 9_000+ | Active |
| GPUGrid (bioinformatics) | 110 days+ | 1_000+ | Active |
| Einstein (astrophysics) | 95 days+ | 4_000+ | Active |
| Asteroids (astronomy) | 324 days+ | 4_000+ | Active |
Some “CPU” times are so low compared to other projects because those are GPU projects. BOINC counts 1 second of GPU time as 1 second regardless of how many hundreds (or thousands!) of cores are working on a task. For CPU projects, 1 second of time is counted for each in-flight task, and their runtimes go up much faster as a result.
Our projects
- We develop the Homefarm cluster orchestration suite
- We created the Greenhouse multi-machine chassis project
Our fleet
These machines run 24/7/365, crunching workunits.
