Viral Research Firm? I thought F@H was run out of Stanford University.

Edit: it's run out of Washington University (St. Louis School of Medicine) so it's definitely neither a firm nor viral. Mods should change the title.

Fixed now. Submitted title was "Viral research firm 'Folding at Home' has 400K users fighting C19 with CPU power".

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

It was run out of Stanford until 2019 according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home

Yeah, the title is pretty terrible. CPU power? GPUs contribute far more to the project.

Indeed.

Not a firm, and not viral research either (that is just one consequence).
