Folding@home Covid-19

At the beginning of March, Folding@home was pushing out about 98.7 PetaFLOPS of compute power. This was an impressive number, but it paled in comparison to supercomputers like the Summit supercomputer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Folding@home output is now at 470 PetaFLOPS.

Folding@home is still looking for volunteers with spare CPUs. or GPUs. You can find out more here about how to download the installer from the Folding@home websites. The software uses idle resources so it should not interfere with your device�s performance.

NVIDIA is also calling upon users to put their idle GPU resources to use. There are several GPU projects currently available that are focused on COVID-19. You can click here to learn more about NVIDIA�s call to action, and how you can also join HotHardware�s F@H team (Team # 32407).
