Announcements and Email Lists
Announcements of interest to NERSC's user community are
made via email and saved in email archives.
NERSC also supports a number of user email lists.
NERSC email lists are managed by software called Majordomo
The major lists and their archives are described in the following table.
Below the table are brief instructions about
how to subscribe
