Computer science students have access to two state-of-the-art laboratories for introductory and advanced courses, as well as a lab dedicated to student research projects. Most lab computers run either Linux or Windows operating systems. The department also maintains its own server and web applications for research and course work.
The Inferno, a 64-node Beowulf cluster parallel computing system, provides high-performance computing for the sciences at Washington and Lee. This powerful system—an uncommon resource for a university of our size—supports both teaching and research activities and is used by faculty and students to solve a wide range of problems.
