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.

在这个重大研究仪器项目下，俄克拉荷马州立大学 (OSU) 高性能计算中心致力于获取、部署和维护一台以 OSU 吉祥物 Pistol Pete 命名的集群超级计算机，以支持计算和数据密集型研究和研究培训，涵盖广泛的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学科。作为校园范围内的共享资源，Pistol Pete 的使命包括不仅向俄克拉荷马州所有教职员工、博士后、研究生和本科生免费提供，还向俄克拉荷马州各地的研究人员和教育工作者免费提供。该项目的重点是在广泛的学科中实现实质性的变革性 STEM 研究。特别是，Pistol Pete 的使命围绕着通过许多合作研究团队（包括 66 名教员和 320 多名博士后、研究生和本科生）促进 20 多个部门的研究领域的发展。涵盖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；网络安全和社交网络建模；交换代数；基于图的数据挖掘；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。俄克拉荷马州立大学共同领导 OneOklahoma 网络基础设施倡议 (OneOCII)，该倡议鼓励俄克拉荷马州研究人员和教育工作者使用俄克拉荷马州立大学、俄克拉荷马大学、坦迪超级计算中心、兰斯顿大学和中央俄克拉荷马大学中央拥有的网络基础设施资源，包括超级计算机、存储资源、研究云、新兴的多机构“科学 DMZ”研究专用网络，以及教育、推广、培训和劳动力发展活动。
