I tried #foldingathome and #boinc on my M1 and M2 macbook airs to see how they work without fans.
None of them use the efficient cores of the #applesilicon CPUs, even #einsteinathome, which supposedly is written for these.

#apptamer can force #foldingathome but not #boinc to run on the efficient cores and #primegrid can use the GPU.

Makes me wonder again how green is #distributedcomputing compared to projects just building or leasing larger, more efficient computers. #greencomputing
