Swendsen-Wang Monte Carlo Simulation for Spin Models
- Serial Number: 0037

- Abstract:
- Uses a Swendsen-Wang cluster Monte Carlo algorithm to simulate an
Ising spin model of a ferromagnet, and calculate the energy and
magnetization at a particular temperature.
- Implementation and Performance Issues:
- The main computational task is connected component labeling.
The clusters is highly irregular in both size an shape, and
a lot of irregular non-local communication is required to identify
and label the clusters. This is a difficult problem to implement
efficiently in a data parallel language.
- Documentation:
- Program documentation is available.
