Folding@home, a project in which volunteers lend their spare compute power to study the coronavirus and diseases such as cancer, has exceed 1.5 ExaFLOPS of performance. With one ExaFLOP equivalent to a billion billion operations, the network now boasts 1,500,000,000,000,000,000 floating point operations per second, making it around ten times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer.
We reported only last week that Folding@Home had acquired 400,000 volunteers and was capable of 470 petaFLOPS of distributed computing performance. Now, that cumulative performance has reached 1.5 ExaFLOPS, thanks to the 4.63 million CPU cores and almost 430,000 GPU it employs.
