Moreover, the system will harness supercomputing systems from national laboratories, several universities, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and others. Computing power will be provided via remote access to researchers whose projects are approved by the consortium’s leadership board. The consortium will also connect researchers with top computational scientists to ensure the machines are used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
