Abstract

A program has been written which performs particle orbit tracking on the Intel iPSC/86 distributed memory parallel computer. The tracking is performed using a thin-element (TEAPOT-style) approach. A brief description of the structure and performance of the code is presented, along with applications of the code to the analysis of accelerator lattices for the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider). The concept of ensemble tracking, i.e. the tracking of ensemble averages of noninteracting particles, such as the emittance, is presented. Preliminary results of such studies are presented.<>
