Abstract

We describe use of large-grain data flow to formulate a parallel solution for a moderately complex Monte Carlo particle transport problem. The large-grain data flow computation model combines the parallelism of traditional data flow and subroutine-like sequential programming. This paper summarizes our experience in implementing the solution and gives speedup results on the Denelcor HEP parallel processor.
