Description

We discuss a simulation of the lattice λφ4 theory in a parallel environment. The computation has been performed in the IBM ECSEC scientific center. The hardware consists of a set of ten FPS-164 units connected to a host IBM 4381 computer. In system software is the VM/EPEX experimental parallel control program. A discussion of the parallel computation performance is presented. (orig.)
