A SciOS project
Open Compute for Open Science.
Researchers create a computational project. Volunteers donate idle resources. Science moves forward.
There's over 6,000 ExaFLOPS of idle processing in the world. Lettuce use it for science.

Describe your computational project, then choose a few settings. We write the code, host the server, distribute the work, and hand back validated results.
Free compute, bounded by the number of people who find your work interesting. The more you convince volunteers to care, the more compute you get. The constraint is attention, not budget.
You set it up once. We handle the rest. No cluster to manage, no cloud bill, no operations team. Validated results land in your dashboard as volunteers complete the work.
Every result is computed by more than one volunteer. Send the same piece of work to several volunteers in parallel; a result is only accepted when their independent runs agree. Trust your results.

Browse active computations, attach to the ones whose questions you want to help answer, leave the rest alone. Run work only when your machine is idle, only on specific projects, or always.
The contribution is yours. A public profile collects what you've worked on, under a handle you choose — pseudonymous is fine. You can edit it, hide it, or take it down at any time.
Credit is signed. Every unit of credit is a cryptographic attestation issued by the head, verifiable by anyone against its published Ed25519 public key. The proof travels with you. It survives if a server goes offline, and it can't be retroactively rewritten.
Your compute goes to science. Not laundered through a cloud bill, not training a commercial model. Direct contribution to the work you chose, with the results you produce attributed back to you.

Great Research Extraction Project — software-mention extraction across the scientific literature. A five-way DeBERTa ensemble walks each paper's PDF and reports the software, libraries, and tools the authors used, with structured type and purpose labels.

SciOS exists to keep scientific infrastructure in the hands of the people who use it. We don't sell compute, we facilitate it. The source code that runs the server is open. The protocol that pays out credit is open. If we ever stop running it, a peer can take over without losing a single result.
