For simulating the strong-strong beam-beam effect, using Particle-In-Cell codes has become one of the methods of choice. While the two-dimensional problem is readily treatable using PC-class machines, the three-dimensional problem, i.e., a problem encompassing hourglass and phase-averaging effects, requires the use of parallel processors. In this paper, we introduce a strong-strong code NIMZOVICH, which was specifically designed for parallel processors and which is optimally used for many bunches and parasitic crossings. We describe the parallelization scheme and give some benchmarking results.
