Los Alamos turned to ENIAC for early nuclear simulations
Original: Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]
A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists used the ENIAC computer between 1947 and 1948 to run some of the first Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear processes. The work helped establish random-sampling computation as a core tool in weapons physics and modern scientific computing. Readers are revisiting the paper and discussing this early chapter in the history of computing.
Why now: The history of early computing and Monte Carlo methods remains a popular topic among technically minded readers.
