New Blue Collar Bill Seeks Federal Funds So Small Businesses Can Compute

Now even the most down home mom and pop businesses may have access to supercomputers without worrying about the cost.

A bill proposed by Senators Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, and Herb Kohl, D-Wis., seeks legislation to spend $25 million a year for five years to fund up to five supercomputer centers across the country. The idea is modeled after the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s (OSC) Blue Collar Computing initiative that extends cutting-edge technology use to smaller businesses and manufacturers at a no- or low-cost rate.

Ohio and Michigan Establish Regional Optical Network Partnership
Columbus, Ohio and Ann Arbor, Mich.
