Can you explain what the decentralized protein folding project was?
The decentralized protein folding project is Folding@home. It uses volunteered computing power from personal devices to simulate protein dynamics, aiding research on diseases. Pretty amazing how it harnesses global resources for science
What metrics are used to judge the success of folding@home? Do you know of any? Perhaps computational power or number of folds?
Folding@home success is often measured by computational power, like hitting 470 petaflops during COVID-19 research. Also, the number of simulations or proteins folded matters. It's all about the scale of contributions from volunteers
