This actually brought a tear to my eye. Way to go everyone! Let's wreck this damn virus!

Re: We Have Smashed the EXAFLOP Barrier
That's simply amazing. So much science is being done right now! I really hope all the new folders will stay once this crisis has passed. There are so many other diseases where F@H can help.

To put this in perspective, here are the past milestones:
1 petaFLOP in 2007: https://foldingathome.org/2007/09/16/crossing-the-pe/ and https://foldingathome.org/2007/09/18/post-petaflop/ and https://foldingathome.org/2007/11/02/thoughts-on-pas/
5 petaFLOPS in 2009: https://foldingathome.org/2009/02/18/fo ... flop-mark/
10 petaFLOPS in 2013: https://foldingathome.org/2013/02/27/pa ... lop-scale/
40 petaFLOPS in 2014: https://foldingathome.org/2014/03/21/ma ... p-barrier/
Then we hovered at about 90 petaFLOPS through the December, and then a huge number of people joined over the past several weeks (https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... ary.php?s=) pushing the project to 1.5 exaFLOPS. Truly incredible and a big shoutout to everyone helping out in this project!

F@h is now the top computing platform on the planet and nothing unites people like a dedicated fight against a common enemy. This virus affects all of us. Lets end it together.
