The IN2P3 Computer Science Museum opens its doors for the first time during the Heritage Days. Located within a national infrastructure dedicated to the data processing of the greatest experiments in physics, it testifies to the CNRS’s commitment to the conservation of its IT heritage. Come and visit one of the few initiatives of this type in France during a presentation of old materials and exhibition panels. You will discover how computer techniques dedicated to science have evolved over the years and how the needs of physicists have propelled the development of new technologies, now widely used. You will also learn about the challenges overcome by the CNRS during the pioneering period of microinformatics, or how the first French web server was born on the Doua campus in Villeurbanne. In addition to these exhibitions and in partnership with the G2L2 Corp association, a retrogaming hub will also be offered to (re)discover video games and arcades from the 1980s.

National research infrastructure, the CC-IN2P3 is a unit of the CNRS attached to the IN2P3, the institute that federates research in particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics. It offers a set of IT services, in particular means of processing and storing large masses of scientific data. The CC-IN2P3 has two computer rooms housing several thousand servers and automated libraries to store nearly 340 petabytes of data on magnetic tapes. The CC-IN2P3 participates in about fifty experiments of international scope and holds a preponderant place with the great experiments of physics of which it manages the data.
