Description

A parallel Microprocessor (PMP) is a collection of independent Microprocessors (MP), each capable of performing a separate task. While each MP may be slow, a collection of 100 of them rivals the speed of today's medium-sized computers. The feasibility of using a PMP to calculate 3-dimensional rating distributions was investigated. The results indicate that a stand-alone PMP using current technology could serve as a reactor simulator at a nuclear power station
