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]
