AMD & NVIDIA Join the HPC COVID-19 Consortium
AMD and NVIDIA are the latest computing giants to join the HPC COVID-19 Consortium, they join the likes of Google, Amazon, Microsoft along with the US Federal Government and Academic Institutions in support of COVID-19 research. This announcement brings the combined power of the cluster to 402 petaflops which trails behind the community driven Folding@Home project which holds the record at 1,500 petaflops but is still more powerful than any one supercomputer.
Researchers can apply to the HPC COVID-19 Consortium for compute resources in the fight against COVID-19.

"The Consortium welcomes additional members who are capable of contributing significant compute resources to the pool for this important work. "
All other "Industry" members are top cloud providers - apart from HPE who probably joins as a HPC expert (as they've built large part of the clusters provided by academia/gov members).
I really doubt Nvidia will offer their cloud gaming servers - it's probably overwhelmed by quarantined gamers at this point.
