Are you thinking of Folding@Home?
I am absolutely unsure, and think any information I have about it comes from like 20 years ago. Is it that old? I thought it was pretty old. I remember a news report about it, like on the TV proper. The screensaver was like…little bars of color coming towards the camera, continuously going forward until it filled up and restarted. The spike bars were meant to be like…the data from outerspace. If there was a tall bar, it could be anomalous!
I have an extremely shitty memory, so this is exactly all the information I have.
Hmmm I think that it might not be Folding@Home in that case. Sounds cool, though!

So it seems like BOINC or… SETI at home? Or what it was?
Edit - I looked them up. They’re not going anymore it seems, ‘no longer distributing tasks’. Alas!
Nice find! That does look neat.
