Computer Science Labs

Itron Computer Cluster 
Students and faculty work on research projects together.  Current projects include a $225,000 grant from the National Threat Reduction Agency to improve sensor networks for emergency personnel around the globe.
  Robotics Lab
Computer Science students are working with Dr. Crowley to research improving Ethernet delivery systems.
GU faculty bring a wealth of research and work experience to the Computer Science labs.
  Dr Smith
A recent graduate is working with NASA on programs to improve air traffic controller response.  Another is working at Google as a software engineer. Undergraduate research gives our students a competitive edge in the job market.
  

PACCAR Center for Applied Science

Intel Computer Cluster (Click here to visit our website)
The School of Engineering and Applied Science received a large donation of network servers and components ($778,000) from Intel. The Intel gift will be part of the Intel Corporation Computational Science Laboratory (ICCSL) and will provide a state-of-the-art computational presence that undergraduate students will be able to use for research. The ICCSL will provide the computational tools necessary for faculty and students at Gonzaga University to fulfill their research agenda and plan larger scale research in the future.
Robotics
Room 106 in PACCAR houses the Sensor Networks and Robotics Laboratory (SNARL). SNARL provides students with a hands-on facility for both school-related and research projects in sensors, computer vision, and robotics. The lab includes a Puma 560 robot arm, multiple BOEBot and Surveyor mobile robots, a wide array of sensors, and video capture and video processing equipment.

Herak Center for Engineering  

The Department of Computer Science operates two labs in Herak, along with a dedicated server housed elsewhere on campus.  The server is an HP Proliant running Redhat EL5, capable of handling 50 users concurrently and used only by the computer science department.  The Senior Lab contains 12 networked computers running a mix of Windows XP and CentOS 5 Linux.  This is where seniors work on their senior software engineering projects.  The General Computing Lab contains 30 machines running Linux and Windows.  This lab is available only to students registered for computer science courses.
