Google is going to unveil it's grid/distributed computing application very soon. They're calling it "Google Compute"
The first project they are benefiting is "Folding@home"
Basically a SETI program to donate unused computing power to the computing of the protein folding problem.

Unlike 'ETI', we all know that protein folding is for real, eh?

Wed, January 4, 2006 - 10:02 AMWhere'd you see they're doing Folding@Home
And doesn't Folding@Home seem a little pointless when we have BlueGene/L and will soon have BlueGene/P (clocking in at 1 PetaFLOPS)?
