White House Expands Coronavirus-Focused Supercomputing Consortium

The White House accepted three new members into the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium this week—less than a month after producing the new partnership to accelerate research around the novel coronavirus and ultimately help halt it. The National Center for Atmospheric Research’s Wyoming Supercomputing Center, chipmaker AMD and graphics processing units-maker NVIDIA join a variety of other national labs, agencies, companies and academic institutions that have volunteered a range of supercomputing systems and resources for interested individuals to possibly leverage for research efforts that could help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
