    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.

      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.
