[1][2][3] Particle physics played a role in the early history of the internet; the World-Wide Web was created by Tim Berners-Lee when working at CERN in 1991.
An exception to the LISP-based programs was SCHOONSHIP, written in assembler language by Martinus J. G. Veltman and specially designed for applications in particle physics.
[11] Also the program MACSYMA deserves to be mentioned explicitly, since it triggered important development with regard to algorithms.
This period marked also the appearance of the first commercial computer algebra system, among which Mathematica and Maple are the best known examples.
In addition, it has also been used as a benchmark for high-performance computing, starting with the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer.
Eventually national and regional QCD grids were created: LATFOR (continental Europe), UKQCD and USQCD.
