A distributed computing project for disease research now has more data-crunching chops than the world's publicly known most-powerful supercomputer – IBM's Summit at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

How so? Well, just like the lunatics stripping toilet paper from shelves the world over, at times of crisis it helps to feel that we are doing something – anything – and Folding@home, which borrows PC-owning donors' idle CPU and GPU cycles to simulate protein dynamics, has naturally been extended to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

Towards the end of February, when the outbreak was gathering pace, the project, founded at Stanford University in 2000, put out a call to arms asking for interested individuals to donate their home rigs' resources in an effort to better understand the COVID-19 coronavirus and thus perhaps even help
