Abstract :
Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are powerful tools for understanding the properties of systems of interacting electrons and phonons in a solid. When mobile electrons are studied, these simulations are limited to a few hundred particles. More powerful machines and algorithms must be used to address many of the most important issues in the field. We present results from using the p4 parallel programming system on a variety of parallel architectures to conduct MC and MD simulations
