Computing for Humanity, formerly known as Cancer Computer, is a Canadian Ottawa-based charity supporting medical advancements and oncology research, both nationally and internationally, by providing researchers with High-Performance Computing power. Founded in 2015, our founder, Roy Chartier, discovered a deficiency that was negatively impacting researchers, being their limited access to computing power. It was revealed that only a small percentage of research obtains adequate computing power, an essential component to meet research requirements and drill down on the findings of the research. Computing for Humanity was born from this niche with the mission to provide researchers with the computing resources they need to uncover medical advancements destined to improve human life. #computingforhumanity
