Remember Folding@Home? I admit it fell off my radar. You, yes, you, have an overpowerful computer and barely use most of its resources most of the time. Folding@Home applies these resources to medical research. They’re now including exploration into COVID-19 as part of their system (update here).

Download it. Good installation instructions here (though join our team, not them). FAQ here. I invite you to join my “I created it 10 minutes ago” team: RealTimeResearching, #239487 (update: and thanks to the people who’ve joined – it’s comforting to me knowing you’re doing this, too. 35+ strong and counting.)

More Folding@Home COVID-19 related information here. Folding@Home is now more powerful than the top seven supercomputers in the world, combined.

Update: word has spread like, well, a virus. They’re currently getting so much home support that they don’t have enough work units to go around! Keep your client running. Want updates? Follow Greg Bowman.
