Has any scientific breakthrough come out of the Folding@Home project?
Has any scientific breakthrough come out of the Folding@Home project?
I probably donated 10 years of idle CPU time between 2005 to 2015.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yes quite a few as other commenters have indicated. Another good one is !boinc@sopuli.xyz. BOINC is an open source platform for volunteer computing that also has hundreds of scientific papers and citations under its belt. There are BOINC projects for medical research, space research, math, you name it, there's probably a BOINC project for it. Anybody can start a BOINC project and you choose which projects you contribute CPU/GPU time to. You can pick more than one at a time. You may recognize some of the people hosting BOINC projects: Large Hardon Collider, Max Planck Institute, University of Washington Institute for Protein Design, etc
I forgot there is also the SETI@home project working on the same principle. Searching Extra Terrestrial Intelligence 👽👽👽
