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. # Fall 2023 Workshop Series
