A@H uses distributed computing to calculate the sizes and rotations of well, asteroids.
Looks like renting a #Hetzner bare metal server from their server auction is the best cost/performance solution to do stuff in #BOINC in the cloud. I'm right now renting a 16C/32T AMD 5950X server, and it's much, much cheaper than renting 32 cores from for example AWS.
I moved my BOINC computation to the cloud mostly because I share the electricity bill with my girlfriend, and I don't want to burden her with my shenanigans. So I don't crunch at home apart from occasional Einstein@Home. E@H is best crunched on GPU, and GPUs in the cloud are still prohibitively expensive.
