Abstract
A massively parallel scheme for gas adsorption in zeolite molecular si eves based on the Macro State Markov Chain Model (Chen, 1993; Chen and Hirtzel, 1993a) has been developed and implemented on the Connection Machine CM2. Implementation details that are important in achieving hi gh efficiency of the parallel algorithm are described. The results sho w that the parallel implementation is very efficient, and that simulat ion time is dramatically reduced in comparison with conventional seque ntial schemes.
