History

USRC and LANL's HPC (formerly C and CCN division) have been building and operating advanced computers for LANL's mission for decades.

Here are some of the artifacts of that history.

Newsletters, Magazines, etc.

Los Alamos National Laboratory's computing and communications have released a large collection of newsletters which shine a light on the history of computing at LANL at the time.  These scanned in documents are hosted on a LANL FTP server and are approved for public release.  Each file name has the LALP (an equivalent version of what is today called LAUR).

Short articles with urgent information.  These cover the years 1983 - 1991.

Bulletins via FTP

Periodicals for the computing community to read and refer to.  These cover the years 1975 - 1994.

CNews via FTP

Periodicals for the computing community to read and refer to.  These cover the years 1994 - 2001.
