The LASCA laboratory is located in Torgersen 2050. Torgersen Hall is also known as the Advanced Computing and Information Technology Center, and is home to more than ten research labs plus high-tech teaching and library space.

A large Linux cluster known as Anantham is the featured computing platform used by LASCA researchers. This cluster is made up of 200 nodes joined by two interconnection networks: a 2.56 Gb/s Myrinet network and a 100 Mb/s Ethernet network. Each node includes two 1.4Ghz AMD Opteron processors, 1 GB of memory, and a 10 GB hard drive.

LASCA affiliates also have access to an SGI Altix 3300 shared-memory machine. This SMP has twelve 1.3Ghz processors, 24 GB of memory, and 292 GB of disk space.

Finally, many LASCA participants who develop codes on Anantham then move those codes to System X, Virginia Tech's 1100 node (2200 processor) Apple cluster, which currently ranks third in the world-wide list of supercomputers. LASCA serves as the portal to System X for developers of large-scale computational science applications.
