Discrete-ordinates and Monte Carlo techniques are compared for solving integrodifferential equations and compare their relative adaptability to vector processors. The author discusses the utility of multiprocessors for Monte Carlo calculations and describes a simple architecture (the monodirectional edge-coupled array or MECA) that seems ideally suited to Monte Carlo and overcomes many of the packaging problems associated with more general multiprocessors. 18 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
