Abstract

In this paper we discuss the mapping of the physical problem of 2D crystallization with spherical boundary conditions onto a Simulated Annealing model, and the mapping of this model onto a parallel computer. We discuss some aspects of the finetuning of the simulation code and the overall behaviour, stability and scalability, of our parallel implementation.
