      A new numerical method for computing solutions of conservation laws based on the use of cellular automata with the method of characteristics is proposed. The method yields high numerical accuracy, and extends naturally to adaptive meshes and domain decomposition methods for perturbed conservation laws. The algorithm is well suited for execution on both massively parallel computers and vector machines. Timing results for an Alliant FX/8, Connection Machine Model 2 and CRAY X-MP are presented.
