MECA: a supercomputer for Monte Carlo
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6773583
I compare discrete-ordinates and Monte Carlo techniques for solving integrodifferential equations and compare their relative adaptability to vector processors. I discuss the utility of multiprocessors for Monte Carlo calculations and describe a simple architecture (the monodirectional edge-coupled array of MECA) that seems ideally suited to Monte Carlo and overcomes many of the packaging problems associated with more general multiprocessors.
