A prototype of a parallel machine for the simulation of a two-dimensional Ising spin systems is described. To exploit the maximum possible parallelism there is a processor for each lattice site. A prototype machine with 12 processors has been built. Construction details and performances are given.
Multispin coding techniques have been combined with self-consistent boundary conditions to simulate three-dimensional Ising systems at a speed of 305 million spin updates per second, including magnetization and energy calculation, on a single processor of the CRAY YMP 832.
