Unlike [[Charity Engine]], the Open Science Grid also includes GPU resources and can therefore run apgsearch's GPU symmetries.

Purpose Distributed computing
Created by Open Science Grid Consortium
Platform Linux

The Open Science Grid (OSG) is a distributed computing project founded in 2004. On August 5, 2022, research in Conway's Game of Life was approved as a project on the grid.[1]

Initially, the only program ran on the OSG was apgsearch. and the first hauls were submitted on August 9.[2] Unlike Charity Engine, the OSG also includes GPU resources and can therefore run apgsearch's GPU symmetries. Additionally, GPU searching is optimized to recognize long-lasting soups, high-period oscillators, and nonstandard spaceships, while usually ignoring still lifes and diehards.

Starting on August 11, 2022, OSG has contributed CPU resources to search randomly generated 5-glider collisions for the purpose of finding new glider syntheses.[3] The results can be found in the moog_stdin[note 1] symmetry. Starting on September 11, 2022, 6-glider collisions have been censused by the OSG as well.[4]

Starting January 2023, OSG has ran DiKpIx, Darren Li's modification of ikpx2.[5]
