The COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium of companies including IBM, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, academic institutions and federal agencies, is making members’ computers available for research in bioinformatics, epidemiology, and molecular modelling projects requiring large amounts of processing capacity, to increase understanding of COVID-19 and inform strategies to address it. Research projects given access to date include a virtual high throughput in silico screen to find drug candidates, a molecular level simulation of the coronavirus entering a human host cell, and sequencing the genomes of patients who have suffered the worst effects of the infection to see if there is a genetic signature to the predict which future patients are most likely to need intensive care.
In addition to selecting which research to back, the consortium, led by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the US Department of Energy and IBM, will identify which of their members has the most appropriate computing resource for each project.

I found this @ NYTimes.com about his previous appointment:

I'm always impressed with the ability to fellatiate Trump while not speaking in monosyllables. Still, what comes out is largely jism, ignoring both the gutting of federal dollars and underinvestment of the private sector since Reagan got in. A feel-good quote from Vannevar Bush in a different Democratic-led era of social responsibility 75 years ago is false equivalence.
