Folding@Home Supercomputer

Folding@Home is a distributed community computing platform that allows everyone to donate any spare computer processing power to protein folding simulation experiments. Folding@Home are now performing protein folding experiments on COVID-19 and in recent weeks, the number of users has jumped from 30,000 to 700,000. As a result, the good intentioned community has accidently created a 2.4 exaFLOP supercomputer, which is faster than the top 500 supercomputers in the world. You can donate your spare processing power to fight COVID by running the folding@Home software in the background, which can be downloaded here. I've also created a team called ShoulderToShoulder, id: 262519, if anyone wants to join.
