With the ongoing threat of COVID-19 (better known as coronavirus), Nvidia has gone to Twitter and asked gamers to join in the fight. Nvidia is working with Folding@home, a downloadable app that links computers to an international network to share GPU and CPU power to process large computing tasks.

In a recent update, Folding@home announced “Folding@home team has released an initial wave of projects simulating potentially druggable protein targets from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and the related SARS-CoV virus (for which more structural data is available) into full production on Folding@home.” With your help, these projects could help researchers better understand COVID-19 and the development of treatments and therapies against it.
