The Pulkovo Observatory computing laboratory began its activities in 1956. Originally it was equipped with card-punched machines. An essential work of processing astronomical data was carried out with the help of these machines ([1] and other).
With the development of the computing techniques in the USSR, the laboratory has been equipped with more modern computing devices. At present the Laboratory disposes of the third generation computer ES-1020 of the Ryad type, as well as the second generation computers Minsk-22 and Nairi-K.
