Remember folks, never go to a website you have never heard of.

Agreed, but I took one for the team; it's actually pretty interesting, and here's Amazons site for their participation in it: https://aws.amazon.com/hpc/consortium/

Description of the consortium (from OPs link):

The COVID-19 High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium
The COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium is a unique private-public effort spearheaded by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the U.S. Department of Energy and IBM to bring together federal government, industry, and academic leaders who are volunteering free compute time and resources on their world-class machines.

Consortium partners include:
Industry

• IBM
  Amazon Web Services
  Google Cloud
  Microsoft

Academia

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
  University of California, San Diego
  Department of Energy National Laboratories
  Argonne National Laboratory
  Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
  Los Alamos National Laboratory
  Oak Ridge National Laboratory
  Sandia National Laboratories
  Federal Agencies
  National Science Foundation
  Pittsburg Supercomputing Center
  NASA

Researchers are invited to submit COVID-19 related research proposals to the consortium via this online portal, which will then be reviewed for matching with computing resources from one of the partner institutions. An expert panel comprised of top scientists and computing researchers will work with proposers to assess the public health benefit of the work, with emphasis on projects that can ensure rapid results.

Fighting COVID-19 will require extensive research in areas like bioinformatics, epidemiology, and molecular modeling to understand the threat we’re facing and form strategies to address it. This work demands a massive amount of computational capacity. The COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium helps aggregate computing capabilities from the world's most powerful and advanced computers to help COVID-19 researchers execute complex computational research programs to help fight the virus.

Sorry, that link was actually taken from whitehouse.gov https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st ... -covid-19/

I feel like the F@H Consortium should merge with the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium.

Summit was shown on the news last night. You don't suppose IBM is worried about the competition from us.

But IBM is part of the consortium. Unless you mean competition with F@H

yeah, they can call us when the get to 450 petaflops
