Abstract

AbstractFive methods are described for the distribution over a 3D Transputer array of the calculation of the pair interaction component of particle energy. The most efficient method, expressed in terms of the time to complete a simulation, depends on the size of the simulation and the Transputer array. This dependence is quantified, with emphasis on Grand Canonical Ensemble Monte Carlo simulation, and yields criteria for the optimum strategy for parallel implementation of GCEMC algorithms. The equations derived are generally applicable, and have implications for the programming of Molecular Dynamics simulations.
