That's a lot of computational power.
Read more about Folding@home being faster than the top 500 supercomputers combined.

But can it run crysis?

There was a time last month where we had over 100. Seems we have lost a few on the way, but it's great that we have so many folders ATM.
But can it run crysis?
Well, a lot of the systems running Folding@home can. Folding@home itself, probably not, the lag would be insane, even if it was possible.

I haven't been able to connect since last night. Guess they're having servers issues.

Didn't get any units yesterday, as well. Guess we folded everything
Yeah. I didn't get many work units yesterday either, at least not until fairly late in the day. Have some today though, so all's good.
Folding project has been going for at least some weeks. Can anyone tell me any result that shows this is actually "a thing? I mean, are there any real results of the research using this tool?
Hope this is not being use for other purposes than the intended one, that's why i think folding project should share publicly their investigations.
Ohh BTW, with this amount of processing power, there is not a single security firewall on the earth that could cope with it keeping their security under control.

This will all be written up in research papers later, but this will all take time.
A lot of the computing projects are created by different groups and target different things, such as potential locations for drug-based treatment, and mechanisms.
The article linked below highlights how Folding@home simulations have uncovered an opening in the COVID-19 protein that can act as an area for drug-based treatments.
