They’re all kind of old, though. Most of the active ones seem like 5-10 years old. Are there any recent new projects?
And are the projects from like 2009 still feasable? I mean both argorithms and compute hardware in the datacenters of those universities may have made leaps forwards since then?
Wow, I didn’t know. First exaFLOP computing system… I tried looking up more but that seems complicated. I’m missing some graph with the TFLOPs over time. Only thing I found is some old one from 2012. Do you happen to know if the participants get in return any list of what their contribution achieved? I mean it’d be nice to know what kinds of scientific papers were written about Covid, with help of that massive compute capacity.
From what I’ve gathered from my recent experience of running tasks, the project might have started years ago, but they are still offering tasks to be completed.

I mean, during COVID, the folding@home network was the most powerful ‘datacentre’ in the world by quite a margin.
Home computing leaps almost as fast as the data centres do.

They list the papers here (there may be more not listed). See how many more there are in 2021!

That’s a good question.
