High Performance Computing

The Lab has access to the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI). The LONI is a statewide environment that integrates and aggregates Louisiana’s considerable strength that is distributed across its universities and industries. It provides 7 high-performance computing clusters interconnected via the LONI fiber backbone and dedicated to furthering the efforts of researchers throughout Louisiana. Each of these systems has been deployed at a LONI member institution. Consultation and administrative support for the LONI systems is provided by HPC @ LSU.

LONI network’s supercomputers are:
