| Purpose | Distributed computing |
| Created by | Open Science Grid Consortium |
| Platform | Mostly Linux |
The Open Science Grid (OSG) is a distributed computing project founded in 2004. On August 5, 2022, apgsearch was approved as a project on the grid,[1] and the first hauls were submitted on August 9.[2]
Unlike Charity Engine, the Open Science Grid also includes GPU resources and can therefore run apgsearch's GPU symmetries. Because of this, only certain symmetries are supported, as 90-degree rotation and diagonal symmetry are difficult to implement in CUDA.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]
Notable discoveries include:
- September 2022: A predecessor for a 32-cell burloaferimeter variant,[6] leading to it being synthesized with only 9 gliders, the least known for any period-7 oscillator[7]
- September 2022: A partial synthesis of caterer, leading to it being synthesized with only 5 gliders.[8]
Notes
