One of the largest, if not the largest, distributed computing project/system. Point values are assigned for completed work and a "rank" within your team (our team being Overclock.net)
You can use the points as almost a benchmarking tool to see how well your CPU stacks up against others. It's very addictive, I got sucked in a few months ago!

Overclock.net just reached third place in the world and we have a big contest coming up on May 5th so any extra CPU muscle we can flex we sure can use it!

Folding@home is the most powerful distributed computing cluster in the world, according to Guinness,[2] and one of the world's largest distributed computing projects.[3] The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases."[4] Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including sickle-cell disease (drepanocytosis), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home |
