Run Folding@home Like an Appliance.
FoldingOS is a lightweight operating system for dedicated Folding@home compute nodes. Install it on mini PCs, home lab servers, and compact racks — then manage everything from one dashboard.
Folding@home is a distributed computing project where volunteers donate spare CPU and GPU power to simulate protein folding — advancing research into cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseases. Learn more at foldingathome.org
