Legislation aimed at helping the U.S. achieve chip sovereignty also has provisions for funding software efforts as chip design reaches physical limits. The legislation opens up to $54 billion in funding for chip companies to open new factories, boost STEM efforts and develop the underlying infrastructure for software-defined computing. The legislation will boost the U.S. chip supply chain after shortages handcuffed industries such as automotive and consumer electronics.

The bill releases funds to strengthen the hardware and software ecosystem for faster supercomputers, and newer computing techniques such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

The legislation also will fund efforts to harden the security of open source software.
