Welcome to Charity Engine
The ingenious Charity Engine app harnesses the "idle time" of milions of home PCs to raise money for charities such as CARE and Oxfam. It also donates millions of compute-hours to cutting-edge research in biology, physics, math, climate change, and many other subjects.
The app is fully automatic, working quietly in the background if the PC is idle, and shutting down instantly if not. The user never has to lift a finger.

Charity Engine + WolframCharity Engine's global grid is now fully integrated with Wolfram Engine / Mathematica, so users can access cheap, green, planetary scale computing directly from within Wolfram Language - just as Stephen himself is doing with his latest math and physics research.
Charity Engine is delighted to be an official partner of both Wolfram Research and Wolfram Blockchain Labs, and to have Stephen Wolfram as an advisor.

In the summer of 1921, a young mathematician named Emil Post felt he was on the verge of systematically "solving" all of mathematics - that is, of developing a method for reasoning generally about wide ranges of math problems. The key, he thought, was a class of string transformation systems he dubbed "tag" systems - but one particular such system, defined by the replacement rules {0->00, 1->1101}, resisted all his attempts to characterize its behavior.
A century later, modern computers can evaluate tag systems hundreds of trillions of times faster than Post could by hand, and distributed computing environments like Charity Engine allow tens of thousands of simultaneous cores to be utilized for such a task. The Wolfram Post Project aims to pick up where Emil Post left off, searching for patterns and answers in the computational universe of tag systems. Read More.
