So far I have come across Blue Angel certification for KDE's Okular (https://okular.kde.org/eco/) and the EndOf10 campaign (https://endof10.org)

@libreinator only reference I can remember is https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/1364782.1364802 which I saw in a paper on metadynamics. Not directly related to your question but I think the idea of developing application-focused hardware is interesting enough in this context.
@libreinator that brings back memories! I wanted to run it but I decided it wasn't worth the electricity bill, and our computer wasn't all that fast either.
The node exploding does not sound fun though! Hopefully it was all contained and no one got hurt in the process.
@libreinator Ah, I figured something like that would have been the case. I think the concept was a bit too alien for me at the time so I chickened out. Now? I don't think I would even run it, I am disillusioned with the protein computation scene to run this stuff while also question the efficiency of using common people's computers for this.
