✦ Synopsis

A Monte Carlo code used for the detailed simulation of the response of the ALEPH time projection chamber has been successfully restructured to exploit the vector architectures of the CDC CYBER-205, ETA10 and CRAY X-MP supercomputers. Some aspects of the vector implementation are discussed and the performance on the various processors is compared.
