This paper describes research conducted at ONERA using the Transputer as building block for experimentation in the field of scientific multiprocessing. The first part describes our experimental systems based on T800–20 Transputers and gives performance measurements of some kernel operations. The second part is devoted to the implementation of two simulation codes on a network of forty Transputers. The first concerns a finite element dynamic analysis of a large scale structural problem. The aim is to compute the dynamic response of a clamped cylindrical beam subjected to a time dependent force. The second code simulates the behaviour of particles in an accelerator. This chromaticity correction code, called PATRICIA [17], has been adapted to our multi-Transputer system. All these experiments were conducted using OCCAM2, the parallel programming language of the Transputer.

The parallelization of a structurally inhomogeneous Metropolis Monte Carlo particle/ potential problem was studied in an application to solvent clusters. The program was ported to a small parallel-processor system consisting of five T800–20 transputers. Different topologies are discussed. The optimum topology depends on the size of the computational problem; for our problem size it is a modified tree structure. Benchmarks are given for a transputer farm, and compared with results obtained on various scalar and vector processors.
