In this interesting paper the authors consider parallelization of two widely used algorithms in computational physics, i.e., the Monte Carlo simulation of the Ising model and a cluster identification algorithm which is used for percolation and percolation-like problems. The authors describe an implementation of their algorithms on a multitransputer system based on sixteen T800 transputers. The results of computations are thoroughly discussed and performance evaluation on scalar and vector computers is given.
