We review Monte Carlo computer simulations of spin models — both discrete and continuous. We explain the phenomenon of critical slowing which seriously degrades the efficiency of standard local Monte Carlo algorithms such as the Metropolis algorithm near phase transitions. We then go onto describe in detail the new algorithms which ameliorate the problem of critical slowing down, and give their dynamical critical exponent values.
We discuss the possibility of using neural network optimization to perform optimized code generation, and list possible benefits. The approach used by Hopfield and Tank to treat the traveling salesman is extended to c...

We discuss the possibility of using neural network optimization to perform optimized code generation, and list possible benefits. The approach used by Hopfield and Tank to treat the traveling salesman is extended to cover the motion of abstract quantities through a computer. A simple general method for constructing complicated syntactic constraints is introduced, applicable to both sequential and parallel target architectures. We test the approach on some very elementary examples of sequential code, by simulation.
This paper describes a portable programming environment for MIMD concurrent processors based on an object-oriented, message-passing para digm. The basis of this environment is the Virtual Machine Loosely Synchronous C...
