We are currently powering 3 full scale projects, but with your support it could be many more!

Housing the GPU farm requires space and we are at the moment running
out. It also requires energy to run the farm. And finally the GPUs
generate a lot of heat. That requires cooling. And in fact, cooling
is one of the biggest challenges. Fortunately there is a solution to
most of these problems ... it's called Iceland. Why? Well,
Iceland is very cold all year long, so no energy intensive
air-conditioning is required at all. We just need to run a few fans
and the cold air can come in from outside and the hot air can blown
outdoors.
Second of all, Iceland sits on top of
geothermal springs ... literally lava. And they have figured out how
to turn that heat into energy. That means we will have plenty of
cheap energy to power the farm.
Finally, space in our
current location is very expensive due to real-estate prices. But in
Iceland, real-estate is much more cost-effective. In fact we already
have our eye on a location where we can move our existing farm. But
we still need additional funds.
We would like to thank
Optessa
for supporting the Eco-Friendly Manufacturing project!
But
we still need a lot more help. That's where you come in :)
We run a farm of servers powered by GPUs. But our project is fairly
young and so we went with the cheapest GPUs available. These have
worked well so far and we are currently able to run 3 full scale
projects off of our farm.
But if we want to get involved
in more complex projects, we will need to upgrade not only the
number of GPUs that we have available, but the types of GPUs. We
have our heart set on the following models:
1. Nvidia
GeForce RTX 2080Ti
2. AMD RX 580
3. Nvidia 1080Ti
4.
AMD Radeon VII
5. Nvidia GTX 1070
6. Nvidia GeForce RTX
4090
7. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti
With your help we
would love to add these GPUs to our server farm. We are happy to
accept funds to purchase these graphics cards, suggestions of where
we can buy them cheaper in bulk, or even used donations.
Speaking
of donations, we would like to thank
ONE PCBA for donating 10
AMD RX 580 cards! That was a big help!
Of course, our GPUs are useless without cool projects that they can
power. That's the main goal right? You can see the 3 projects
we are working on right now. And we are making faster progress than
we even expected. That means that we will need new projects to work
on.
If you are a student, freelancer, or employee who
has an idea of how to use computing power to make the world a better
place, please reach out to us below and tell us your idea. We
promise to keep it 100% confidential, whether we are able to provide
you with funding or not.
We are happy to support any
project as long as it goes in line with the Non-Profit ethos. It
can't be for profit and it has to be open source. What you
discover you have to share for free with the world!
Speaking
of cool project ideas. We want to thank the
Arizona State University's School of Sustainability
for a cool new project idea. As soon as we have the funding we will
be sending computing power your way.
