Cutts, D; Hoftun, J S

This paper describes the operation of a loosely coupled ''farm'' of MicroVAX-II computers running in the VAXELN environment. Our application used the GEANT Monte Carlo package to simulate 2 TeV proton-antiproton collisions as seen by the D/null/ detector at Fermilab. The layout of the farm, the control software, and specific (small) changes to the program which were needed for operation in the farm, will be explained. 3 refs., 3 figs.
