Folding@home: Put your CPU and GPU in use against the Corona COVID-19 virus
For over 14 years now, Guru3D has been taking part in the folding@home project, currently, the team's most resources are utilized to fight the COVID-19 virus. If you like to donate some CPU or GPU time to the project, join us in this project. More info after the fold.
Whether you have an NVIDIA or AMD GPU, AMD CPU, Intel CPU or even an ARM processor you can join in.
Currently, the following new and COVID-19 specific projects are currently active:
- 11741 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) receptor binding domain in complex with human receptor ACE2.
- 11746 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) receptor binding domain in complex with human receptor ACE2 (alternative structure to 11741).
- 11742 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) protease in complex with an inhibitor.
- 11743 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) protease - potential drug target.
- 11744 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV (SARS causing virus) receptor binding domain trapped by a SARS-CoV S230 antibody.
- 11745 : Coronavirus SARS-CoV (SARS causing virus) receptor binding domain mutated to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 causing virus) trapped by a SARS-CoV S230 antibody.
If you join in, it might take a while before a workload is assigned to you, just be patient. One note COVID-19 projects prefer fast GPUs, being Core22 units which are mostly OpenCL and GPU work units only.
You can easily join up by downloading the client, which is easy to download and install. You do not need to utilize your PC or components 100%, but can choose light, medium and full settings, also in idle or always at work. If you like to donate GPU/CPU cycles, download the client, insert your nickname and if you want to Guru3D Team number: 69411 (or join any other team you prefer of course). You can also join anonymously.

Sadly my 4770K has been patched into a Pentium 3 over the past 2 years.
