Description

The JAERI Monte Carlo Machine has been developed mainly to enhance computational performance of numerical simulations by particle models such as those by Monte Carlo methods. The features of the JAERI Monte Carlo Machine are i) vector processing capability for arithmetic operations, ii) special pipelines for fast vector processing in categorizations of particles, iii) enhanced load/store pipelines for indirectly addressed vector elements, iv) parallel processing capability for spatially and phenomenologically independent particles. The design basis performance of the machine has achieved more than ten times for KENO-IV and more than nine times for MCNP codes. (orig.)
