Some of the ressources of the IPPP Computer Cluster are donated to the GridPP support for simulating the dynamics of COVID-19 proteins through the distributed computing project Folding@Home. Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, the support for Folding@Home has passed 1.5ExaFlops; the GridPP contribution will be significant.
