Implementation Study of SAM-IV on the Illiac-IV Computer

Abstract

A promising technique to parallelize Monte Carlo calculations has been developed previously and implemented in a versatile program to study radiation penetration through complex geometry. Attempts to make the program operational on the ILLIAC-IV computer were successful in a very limited sense, as only a few short runs ran to completion. The tentative conclusions drawn from this limited experience are not in contradiction with the validity of the technique parallelization.
