How the Biggest Distributed Supercomputer Broke the Exaflop Barrier… and What That Means for Us

On March 25, 2020, the Folding@Home network announced that it now has over an exaflop of computing power, after hitting 470 petaflops just days prior. Some estimates by others have suggested that it could be more, as much as up to 1.5 exaflops at that time, but still,
