Abstract
We describe how a recently published algorithm, which addresses the si gn problem within the context of the Green's function Monte Carlo meth od, can be implemented in a parallel distributed environment. The meth od of parallelization maintains large granularity and therefore low ov erhead. Despite the stochastic nature of the algorithm, good load-bala ncing can be accomplished and reproducibility is ensured.
