HPC has been plural ever since the beginning of Cray in the 1980's with 
multiple vector processors, it's only ever been a question of how big - 
what you see today is ARM up against GPU.

Folding@Home includes the above, certainly the bulk of the academic HPC 
and compute farms.  The Windows and MacOS tend to be real people, you 
see the farms turning up under Linux (hence the disparity in GPU to CPU 
numbers, as there are a lot of big CPU farms out there).
