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.
Project stats
A WU is a “workunit”; a packet of computational tasks sent by the
project and returned when complete.

World Community Grid
From 06 December 2017 until 02 April 2024 we were active in World Community Grid’s many subprojects. Starting with a single dual-core machine, we would eventually build up to a peak of six machines and 96 cores crunching for WCG.
Sadly the project had more and more problems, leading us to finally step away and focus solely on FAH. We had hoped to make it to a half-millenium of CPU time for WCG, but these are our final stats.

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
