The M3 high-performance computing (HPC) cluster is a shared-access super computer for computational research. The O'Donnell Data Science and Research Computing Institute and Office of Information Technology (OIT) work together to provide the computational resources and tools required by SMU’s faculty, researchers, and students to accelerate advances in research innovation.

M3 features state of the art CPUs, networking, and storage technologies—making it one of the fastest HPC environments of any private university in Texas.
