The objective of this Research Initiation project is to determine the           most effective method of performing simulation studies on a                     multiprocessing system.  Molecular Dynamics will be the specific                class of problem chosen where simulation codes will be developed for            both a INMOS Transputer, a message-passing parallel processing                  system, and a BBN+, a shared-memory parallel machine.  The relative             merits of the shared-memory and message-passing paradigms for this              class of problems will be determined.                                                                                                                           An existing sequential Molecular Dynamics code will first be adapted            to a parallel environment on each of the two machines; performance              evaluation methods will identify the bottlenecks in system                      performance.  The codes will be iterated, resulting in successively             more efficient implementations.
