Once executed, the googledcc.exe process will take a portion of a complex research problem and will make computations from thereon. The googledcc.exe process will try to compare the computations with other results on the internet as gathered from other computers. Because of this, the Google Compute Client became popular to members of the academe, technical researchers, scientists, and the likes.

In the course of its existence as part of the Google toolbar, it's most notable contribution was for a non-profit organization popularly known as Folding@Home (or FAH) who is involved in making extensive computations related to protein folding simulations as well as other molecular activities.
