I won't call it an organization, rather a consortium: https://foldingathome.org/about/the-fol ... onsortium/

There are many labs which work together on common issues and problems. My definition of a project would be this: https://apps.foldingathome.org/psummary
That's a lot of projects. Moreover, the scope of those projects is protein folding and can be narrowed down in some projects to specific diseases: https://foldingathome.org/diseases/

Well, interesting history.

I think current times are historical as well, with a massive increase of user base.
BOINC aggregated stats: https://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_p ... ?project=1

I think both have their place though, separately.
I'm planning to contribute to Rosetta@Home as well, but my first time running it resulted in a blue screen so I haven't tried again

Using the two together on one machine is very tricky. I have never seen a blue screen caused by BOINC apps (BOINC will run the mini programs) but the two compete heavily for the same resources. At this moment there does not seem to be a GPU task on COVID in the BOINC spectrum, my only reason to be here on F@H.

"..., separately."
Yeah, I am from the league "why not work together" but this tends to be (very) old fashion.

Many of us are former BOINC participants or even some were part of Seti@home before BOINC acquired that name.
