NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD (MP)

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.

Fall 2023 Workshop Series#

The Fall 2023 OIT, CRC, & DSI workshop series provides a hands-on experience that will guide researchers from the basics of using SMU’s supercomputing resources to advanced parallelization and application specific usage. The topics will cover information useful for researchers to quickly begin to use the advanced compute capabilities provided with the cluster. New users are encouraged to take advantage of the introductory “Introduction to HPC” workshop that will be given once monthly (9/5, 10/3, 11/7; 10-12 – 10/2, 11/6) from 1-3pm during the semester at Moody Building, room 244.

Fall 2023 OIT, CRC, & DSI Workshop Series - Open to All!
