Show HN: Ramanujan-computing: use idle computation to run scientific computinghttps://github.com/Ramanujan-Computing/Ramanujan
In 1969, humans landed on moon using Apollo-Guidance-Computer (AGC) whose compute power was equivalent to today's scientific calculator. Today we have billions of device which are alteast million times more powerful than AGC lying mostly idle. With this inspiration, have created Ramanujan-Computing which can harness idle computation to run scientific simulations. There is a project BOINC which tries to solve this problem, however for any new kind of simulation, the developer has to create new binary, distribute that binary to the devices that can provide its computation power. This problem ge…

How to sign up for a virtual power plant—and decide whether you shouldhttps://www.technologyreview.com/2026/08/28/1142956/how-to-sign-up-for-a-virtual-power-plant-and-decide-whether-you-should
MIT Technology Review’s How To series helps you get things done. Your thermostat may not look like a power plant. Neither does your electric vehicle, home battery, or HVAC system. But utility and energy companies increasingly want to treat them like one. A virtual power plant, or VPP, is a collection of household devices (such…
