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, Folding@Home, Rosetta@Home, Einstein@Home, GPUGrid, and Asteroids@Home. You can check out our detailed stats across all projects.
WCG stats
A WU 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 | Points / Compute Time | Team WUs | Team status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folding (bioinformatics) | 241_000_000+ | 2_000+ | Active |

Our development projects
- We develop the Homefarm cluster orchestration suite
- We created the Greenhouse multi-machine chassis project
- For testing Homefarm on ARM CPUs, we created Greenroom
Our fleet
These machines run 24/7/365, crunching workunits.
| Machine | CPU | Cores | RAM | GPU | Pwr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| node01 | Ryzen 3900X | 12c24t | 32GB | GTX 1650 | 140W |
| node02 | Ryzen 3900X | 12c24t | 32GB | GTX 1650 | 140W |
| node03 | Ryzen 3900X | 12c24t | 32GB | — | 65W |
| node04 | Ryzen 3950X | 16c32t | 32GB | GTX 1650 | 155W |
| node05 | Ryzen 3950X | 16c32t | 32GB | — | 80W |
| node06 | Ryzen 3950X | 16c32t | 32GB | GTX 1650 | 155W |
| 84c168t | 192GB | 735W |
All x86 machines share some common components:
- Cooler Master N200 chassis
- Gigabyte B550M DS3H motherboard
- Noctua NH-C14S CPU cooler
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.
