World Community Grid is running both the Human Proteome Folding Project and FightAIDS@Home, members have the option of opting out of one project to donate all their unused computer time to just one of the research projects. As a default, all members are contributing to both projects; when the grid sends a work unit to the agent, there is a 50-50 chance that it will be running Human Proteome Folding (or FightAIDS@Home) - unless the volunteer chooses to participate in a specific project.
