 # Welcome
 
-The mission of the Center for Research Computing at Southern Methodist
-University is to support research and education enabled by high-performance
-computing technology. We are motivated by the fact that computer simulation and
-data analysis has become an essential facilitator of discovery in most
-disciplines, and that advances in computing, networking, and data storage
-technologies are likely to accelerate this trend.
-
-The primary purposes of the Center are to: (i.) provide a state-of-the-art
-research computing infrastructure for SMU faculty and students; (ii.) provide
-training and support to faculty and students in the use of the Center's
-resources and external facilities, including awarding certificates in
-high-performance computing based on a completion of assignments associated with
-center's workshops; (iii.) provide the mechanism for faculty governance of
-advanced research computing and related educational activities ; (iv.)
-stimulate multidisciplinary research involving computation; (v.) support and
-develop educational programs involving computation; (vi.) publicize faculty and
-student research involving computation; and (vii.) engage with local government
-and industry on relevant research projects.
+The SMU's high-performance computing (HPC) resources (M3 and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD)
+are shared-access super computers for computational research. 
+The Office of Information Technology (OIT) and the O'Donnell Data Science and 
+Research Computing Institute work together to provide the computational 
+resources and tools required by SMU’s faculty, researchers, and students to 
+accelerate advances in research innovation.
