Description

Contributes spare CPU or GPU power to Folding@home protein-dynamics simulations for scientific research. It helps volunteers donate compute resources to distributed biomedical workloads.

Distributed computing can consume electricity, heat hardware, use network bandwidth, and run background jobs for long periods. Review resource limits and project trust before enabling it.
