- 1How Los Alamos used ENIAC for early nuclear Monte Carlo simulations●Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]
A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists turned to the ENIAC in 1947–1948 to run Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear processes, among the earliest uses of electronic computers for probabilistic modeling in weapons research. Readers are sharing the paper for its account of how a pioneering machine helped establish a computational method still central to physics, finance and engineering today.

A 2011 essay on the programming of the ENIAC, one of the first electronic general-purpose computers, is recirculating among readers. The piece recounts how the machine's original programmers, a team of women mathematicians, had to physically configure the ENIAC's cables and switches to run calculations, since it had no stored program in the modern sense. Readers are discussing the history of early computing and the long-overlooked contributions of the first programmers.
