Parallel algorithms for numerical models used in semiconductor                  device simulation of nonequilibrium transport in two dimensions                 using Monte Carlo particle methods.  Such models are currently                  used and computed using vector serial computers.  However, by                   adapting Monte Carlo to parallel systems, e.g. NCUBE or Sequent                 could result in substantial speedup and greatly enhance the scale               and sophistication of such models.                                                                                                                              The methodology here will be to employ a general algorithmic                    analysis based on 'grain packing', a technique developed at the                 Oregon State University, in order to determine the optimal parti-               tioning of the problem in a multi-processor systems.  The research              focuses on the parallel versus sequential speedup obtained through              parallelization of existing sequential algo-                                    rithms for bulk transport in GaAs and MESFET simulation using                   Monte Carlo methods.
