Updates and early lessons from our COVID-19 HPC Consortium research partners Amazon Web Services

The concept of a COVID-19 High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium emerged from a roundtable discussion at the White House in March and included input from industry, government, and academic leaders. Following the announcement of the consortium, AWS has been collaborating with teams on a growing number of projects to provide cloud computing resources from AWS. I want to share three early learnings from this work. Today I would like to provide some insight into some of the innovative projects on which we are collaborating with the world's leading researchers. PostEra is helping to lead Project Moonshot, an open science initiative to find a novel antiviral cure for COVID-19, tested in animals within four months.
