Folding@Home continues to make headlines around the world about its rapid progress. In mid-March, it was reported that the university project from Stanford was faster than the 7 fastest supercomputers in the world combined. A week later Folding@Home reached one exaFLOP of computing power. Now the project is closing in on 2.5 exaFLOPS …

It hasn't even been a full week since Folding@Home announced that it had reached 470 petaFLOPs of computing power – more than the 7 most powerful supercomputers in the world, combined. Now the project originating from Stanford University has reached another milestone: one exaFLOP. Try to let that sink in a …

The Stanford University project Folding@Home has come a long way since its release in the year 2000. In 2012, it was reported that the project was expected to soon surpass 6 PetaFLOPS. Now Folding@Home is seeing a wave of donations – in form of computing power – and has already reached more …

Sony and Stanford University have announced that at the end of October, PS3 consoles will lose their support for the protein folding project, Folding@home, ending a five year relationship, as the Life With PlayStation section is removed from the PS3 dashboard. While some have expressed dismay that they will no …

Back in January 2008, Intel posed a question to scientists, “What would you do with a million quad core processors?”  While no one is offering to deliver and install a million chips to a single destination, the idea of a huge, distributed computing system has appeal. Folding@Home project is set …

KitGuru started a folding@home team only a few months ago, and we are already in the top 500 sites, at position 347 as I write this. This meteoric rise to fame has been possible thanks to our active community who devote a lot of time into ensuring the momentum continues. …
