Laboratory Space

The SpaRTAN laboratory has 450 sq. ft. of space located in Nicholson Hall on the Louisiana State University Campus. Laboratory is secured and monitored 24/7 with motion activated video cameras. (Unescorted) laboratory access is limited to laboratory personal.


Computation Resources

The SpaRTAN lab space serves as the primary host for the group’s computational resources. These include:


2019 Mac Pro Server 

  • 28-cores Intel Xeon W processors @ 2.5 GHz
  • 384 GB of 2,933 MHz DDR4 Memory
  • AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo video card with 32 GB of memory
  • 4 TB solid state hard drive


Synology DS2419+ NAS Disk server configured in RAID5 for secure and redundant long- term   data retention. Storage capacity – 176 TB.


OWC Thunderbay 4 Drives (2) configured in RAID5. Storage capacity – 18TB (each).


High Performance Computers (HPC) LSU Campus

The SpaRTAN lab has active access and CPUh to the LSU Computing Facilities. LSU has various multi-teraflop systems operated by the Center for Computation and Technology.. Linux clusters are available for faculty and student use for research and instructional purposes. Installed codes include EGSnrc, MCNPX/MCNP6, and GEANT Monte Carlo codes; a deterministic transport codes, cross section libraries, compilers, etc.

Texas Advanced Computation Center

In addition to the high-performance computers available at LSU’s Center for Computation & Technology the SpaRTAN lab utilizes resources provided by the Texas Advanced Computation Center (TACC).TACC's environment includes a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure ecosystem of leading-edge resources in high performance computing (HPC), visualization, data analysis, storage, archive, cloud, data-driven computing, connectivity, tools, APIs, algorithms, consulting, and software. TACC's Stampede2 is the flagship supercomputer of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), a single virtual system that scientists can use to interactively share computing resources, data, and expertise. The system features 4,200 Knights Landing (KNL) nodes — the second generation of processors based on Intel's Many Integrated Core (MIC)architecture — and 1,736 Intel Xeon Skylake nodes.
