Abstract

Hardware architecture and operating software of a parallel multiprocessor system for various Monte Carlo simulations of models in statistical physics is described. The main parts of the multiprocessor systems are the host processor, three tightly coupled MIMD parallel processors, and their individual memories. Our multiprocessor system is flexible to operate, easy to expand and executes programs written in high‐level tamc language which is a subset of the c programming language. The host computer is used to develop, compile, and down‐load programs and transmit the results from work memory to mass memory for further analysis.
