People Running Folding@Home Accidentally Created The World's Biggest Supercomputer
Citiraj:
...700,000 new Folding@home operators have joined up in recent weeks.
That's a huge increase over the 30,000 people who are typically running Folding@home at any one time.
Folding@home network reached an astounding 2.4 exaFLOPs of processing power earlier this week, making it faster than the top 500 supercomputers in the world combined.
To give you some kind of idea of scale, the new Xbox One Series X console appearing this year is promising 12 teraFLOPs of graphics processing power, and you need a million teraflops to make up an exaFLOP.
It shows the power of ordinary home computers working at scale, and all this additional performance is being put to good use.
