To help tackle COVID-19, the long-running Folding@Home program, a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, hit a breakthrough by achieving more than an exaflop of processing power. That’s more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 operations per second, all through crowdsourcing efforts.  For comparison, Summit, the world’s fastest supercomputer, which is powered by more than 27,000 NVIDIA V100…
