We show the use of the homogenous architecture in the parallel processing of long range interactions. We describe the implementation of a Monte Carlo algorithm for a two-dimensional Coulomb system on a parallel processor with hypercubic geometry (the 8-node concurrent processor at Caltech). Our res

Bayesian inference is a probabilistic inferential method. In the last two decades, it has become more popular than ever due to affordable computing power and recent advances in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for approximating high dimensional integrals. Bayesian inference can be traced bac
We study general over-relaxation Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers for multivariate Gaussian densities. We provide conditions for convergence based on the spectral radius of the transition matrix and on detailed balance. We illustrate these algorithms using an image analysis example.
