Excerpt: Folding@home ("Folding at Home," FAH, F@h) is a distributed computing (DC) project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics (MD), and to improve on the methods available to do so. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University's chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay Pande. In 2007 Guinness recognized Folding@home as the most powerful distributed computing cluster in the world. Folding@home is one of the world's largest distributed computing projects. The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfoldin...
