Folding@Home Sets Guinness World Record

Stanford University's Folding@Home project has officially become the world's largest distributed computing network in existence according to the Guinness Book of World Records (Press Release). The Folding@Home project has successfully broken the petaFLOP (one quadrillion FLoating-point Operations Per Second) barrier, largely due to the addition of the F@H client to the PlayStation3 platform in March of this year.
