The rate of increase in the speed of monoprocessors is no longer keeping pace with the needs of the laboratory; accordingly, the use of parallel processors in large scientific computations is being investigated. As an initial experiment, a particle-in-cell plasma simulation was adapted to run on a star graph architecture consisting of a UNIVAC 1110 as hub, and up to eight Floating Point Systems AP120B array processors at the other vertices. Subdivision of tasks among processors and measured results are discussed.
