Charity Engine is a volunteer distributed computing project founded in 2008. It is based on Berkeley University's BOINC software, and has been noted for its contributions to protein folding, and for finding several solutions to the "sum of three cubes" problem.
In early 2022, apgsearch was added to the list of projects Charity Engine conducts. Hauls from the soup searching program are uploaded to Catagolue under the username TechnobladeNeverDies, an account owned by Darren Li, who developed the specific patch to apgsearch that is used on Charity Engine.[note 1] The network is consistently searching hundreds of billions of soups per day, and TechnobladeNeverDies is currently the most prolific contributor in the history of soup searching. The first hauls from Charity Engine were submitted to Catagolue on January 6, 2022.[1]
Notable discoveries include:
- January–February 2022: record-breaking messless methuselahs in both C1[2] and C4_4[3] symmetries
- February 2022: 32P21, then the smallest known period-21 oscillator[4]
- February 2022: a symmetric soup containing a bi-gun, the second unique gun to have occurred semi-naturally[5]
- February 2022: a new period-30 glider gun,[6] which can be monomerized to only contain a single queen bee[7]
- February 2022: 58P8H4V0, the first period-8 spaceship to occur in a random soup[8]
- March 2022: a symmetric soup containing a pair of darts, making it the first period-3 spaceship to occur semi-naturally[9]
- April 2022: a symmetric soup containing two copies of 44P5H2V0, making it the first period-5 spaceship to occur semi-naturally[10]
- April 2022: a symmetric soup via apgsearch exhibiting infinite growth whose center takes 225,593,194 generations to stabilize, a new record[11]
- May 2022: 30P25, then the smallest known period-25 oscillator[12]
- May 2022: meatball, a period-7 sparker with some similar functionality to the previously known 38P7.2[13]
- June 2022: Charity's p16, a period-16 sparker[14]
- July–August 2022: two symmetric soups lasting 128,719 and 132,364 generations respectively before stabilizing, while still meeting the standard definition of a methuselah by eventually ceasing to grow infinitely[15][16]
- August 2022: 34P7, a period-7 sparker similar to meatball but smaller in terms of population[17]
- August 2022: 34P11, the first period-11 oscillator with an asymmetric rotor to appear in an official Catagolue symmetry[18]
