This was a photon transport code, and it evolved the interaction between photons and atoms in an implicit manner. The implicit coupling causes a linear system to get created as the result of the Monte Carlo and this must be solved for the atomic populations and resulting photon weights. Its not as trivial to parallelize as one might think, but the micro based machines have incredible leverage. >Intel has plans to produce a successor the iPSC/2 based on the the i860, and >finally using a reasonable I/O architecture.
