The White House announced the creation of a supercomputing consortium on Monday that will pool resources to aid in researching and modeling Covid-19. Fourteen different organizations, both federal and private, will give teams of scientists free access to time on their high-powered computing clusters and support from staff.

“The sophisticated computing systems available through this Consortium can process massive numbers of calculations related to bioinformatics, epidemiology, and molecular modeling, helping scientists develop answers to complex scientific questions about COVID-19 in hours or days versus weeks or months,” reads the press release.
