    They’re all kind of old, though. Most of the active ones seem like 5-10 years old. Are there any recent new projects?

    And are the projects from like 2009 still feasable? I mean both argorithms and compute hardware in the datacenters of those universities may have made leaps forwards since then?

      I mean, during COVID, the folding@home network was the most powerful ‘datacentre’ in the world by quite a margin.

      Home computing leaps almost as fast as the data centres do.

      That’s a good question.

      From what I’ve gathered from my recent experience of running tasks, the project might have started years ago, but they are still offering tasks to be completed.
