Abstract:

We describe the ideas employed in the first special-purpose Wolf cluster algorithm computer able to simulate 3-dimensional Ising models/ The computer is fast enough to generate accurate data for lattices containing more than 16 million spins, at and near the Ising critical point. We have used this computer to obtain test results for the 2D and 3D Ising models at criticality. These are in an excellent agreement with exact results and with independent simulations in software.
