'''T.Brada Experimental Grid''' (abbreviated '''TBEG''') was a [[volunteer computing]] project built on the [[BOINC]] (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) platform. Founded in February 2019 by Slovak developer Tomáš Brada, the project served as both a personal BOINC development testbed and a home for several mathematical sub-projects in number theory and combinatorics. The project ran until December 2022, when its final administrator announced it would no longer distribute compute work. | '''[https://web.archive.org/web/20220816033844/https://boinc.tbrada.eu/ T.Brada Experimental Grid]''' (abbreviated '''TBEG''') was a [[volunteer computing]] project built on the [[BOINC]] (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) platform.

The third sub-project, '''Lua Alfa''', was purely an experimental software development effort. Its application was used to test an in-development [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] runtime environment for BOINC. The goal was to expand what is possible under the BOINC platform and improve ease of deployment by enabling script-based applications rather than traditionally compiled binaries. The application was limited to Linux, and tasks took only a few minutes at most.<ref name="boincsynergy-forum" /> | The third sub-project, '''Lua Alfa''', was purely an experimental software development effort.

Following the project's closure, the volunteer community showed continued interest in preserving the SPT work. In June 2023, a call was posted on the T.Brada Experimental Grid front page from colleagues attempting to restore the Symmetric Prime Tuples project on a new BOINC server, using Brada's publicly available source code. As of the post, the code had not yet been successfully recompiled.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://boinc.tbrada.eu/ |title=T.Brada Experimental Grid: We ask for help! |publisher=T.Brada Experimental Grid |date=2023-06-23 |access-date=2026-06-11 }}</ref> | Following the project's closure, the volunteer community showed continued interest in preserving the SPT work.
