Computing for Humanity expands access to research computing. myresearchcloud.ca, our nonprofit Canadian research cloud, provides free-to-start CPU, GPU, and storage for research, education, and public-interest science — and we extend that reach globally, contributing capacity to international collaborative science.
No breakthrough should wait on compute.
myresearchcloud.ca gives eligible Canadian researchers and organizations free compute, GPU access, and storage for early-stage research, teaching, and public-interest projects
Your funding or contributed equipment keeps research moving — without the cost barriers that slow discovery.
Explore academic compute plans built for research and teaching — not retail cloud, but dedicated, predictably priced infrastructure sized to how researchers actually work.

Research Outcomes
With Dr. Benjamin Haibe-Kains, CFH aims to provide the scalable computing behind training and sharing cancer biomarker models — work we hope to grow to support 200–300 researchers worldwide over the next two to three years.
