MRI: Acquisition of Shared High Performance Compute Cluster for Multidisciplinary Computational and Data-Intensive Research

在这个重大研究仪器项目下，俄克拉荷马州州立大学（OSU）高性能计算中心正在采购、部署和维护一台以OSU吉祥物Pistol Pete命名的集群超级计算机，以支持跨科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科的计算和数据密集型研究和研究培训。作为一个校园范围内的共享资源，手枪皮特的使命包括免费提供不仅所有俄勒冈州立大学的教师，工作人员，博士后，研究生和本科生，而且研究人员和教育工作者在整个俄克拉荷马州。该项目的重点是在各种学科中实现实质性的变革性STEM研究。特别是，Pistol Pete的使命围绕着促进20多个部门的研究领域，通过许多合作研究团队，包括66名教师，超过320名博士后，研究生和本科生。涵盖了广泛的研究和研究培训活动，包括但不限于：生物信息学（包括基因组学，宏基因组学和转录组学）;生物分子模型开发;作物建模，环境和生态系统建模;液体，蛋白质，界面和反应的经典和量子计算;有机半导体材料的设计和发现;网络安全和社会网络建模;交换代数;基于图形的数据挖掘;可再生能源研究;地震学;社会政治景观建模;以及高能和医学物理学。俄勒冈州立大学共同领导的一个俄克拉荷马州网络基础设施计划（OneOCII），鼓励俄克拉荷马州的研究人员和教育工作者使用集中拥有的网络基础设施资源-在俄勒冈州立大学，俄克拉荷马州，坦迪超级计算中心，兰斯顿大学和中央俄克拉荷马州大学-包括超级计算机，存储资源，研究云，一个新兴的多机构“科学DMZ”研究专用网络，以及教育、外联、培训和劳动力发展活动。

Under this Major Research Instrumentation project, the Oklahoma State University (OSU) High Performance Computing Center is engaged in acquiring, deploying and maintaining a cluster supercomputer, named for OSU's mascot Pistol Pete, to support computing- and data-intensive research and research training, across a broad range of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. As a campus-wide shared resource, Pistol Pete's mission includes being available at no charge not only to all OSU faculty, staff, postdocs, graduate students and undergraduates, but also to researchers and educators across Oklahoma. This project focuses on enabling substantial transformative STEM research across a broad variety of disciplines. In particular, Pistol Pete's mission revolves around facilitating areas of research in over 20 departments, via many collaborating research teams, including 66 faculty with over 320 postdocs, graduate students and undergraduates. A broad spectrum of research and research training activities are covered, including but not limited to: bioinformatics (including genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics); biomolecular model development; crop modeling, environment and ecosystem modeling; classical and quantum calculations of liquids, proteins, interfaces and reactions; design and discovery of organic semiconductor materials; cybersecurity and social network modeling; commutative algebra; graph-based data mining; renewable energy research; seismology; sociopolitical landscape modeling; and high energy and medical physics. OSU jointly co-leads the OneOklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (OneOCII), which encourages Oklahoma researchers and educators to use centrally owned Cyberinfrastructure resources - at OSU, the University of Oklahoma, the Tandy Supercomputing Center, Langston University, and the University of Central Oklahoma - including supercomputers, storage resources, research clouds, an emerging multi-institution 'Science DMZ' research-only network, and education, outreach, training and workforce development activities.
