We describe a concurrent implementation on cost-effective transputer arrays of a molecular dynamics program to efficiently simulate physical systems consisting of thousands of mobile particles with an interaction range much shorter than the system dimensions. This program, which uses a geometric dec

โฆ Synopsis
The INMOS transputer is a powerful VLSI microprocessor that is especially suited for the construction of large arrays for parallel computation. We discuss the general features of such arrays and illustrate these with a simulation of a generalised XY model with possible applications in liquid crystal film modelling.

The paper describes the implementation on a transputer system of a novel parallel algorithm for dynamics simulation of a multibody chain. The algorithm is formulated at a level of parallelism which is natural for the problem but is essentially unavailable to other simulation dynamics algorithms. The
