The link in the Anandtech forum points to the ExtremeOverclocking leaderboards for Folding@Home, which is a Stanford project to do distributed protein folding. They're currently placing COVID-19 related projects at max priority.
My understanding is that Amazon is devoting a chunk of spare AWS capacity to folding for the project. In the last week or so, they've done about 300k work units (essentially they've run that many simulations all the way through).

Can anyone explain to me what I'm looking at?
