The exaFLOP barrier was first broken in March of 2020 by the Folding@home project, used to fold proteins for medical research.[4][5]

Further use grew from increased awareness and participation in the project from the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
On March 20, 2020 Folding@home announced via Twitter that it was running with over 470 native petaFLOPS[138], the equivalent of 958 x86 petaFLOPS.[139]

By March 25 it reached 768 petaFLOPS, or 1.5 x86 exaFLOPS, making it the first exaFLOP computing system.[140]
