Abstract
The implementation of a Monte Carlo code for simulations of liquid cry stal lattice models on the Quadrics massively parallel SIMD supercompu ter is described. The use of a Quadrics with 512 processors is proving essential in studying the nematic-isotropic phase transition to an un precedented level of accuracy using more than 10(6) particles. Here so me tests on the Lebwohl-Lasher model with and without an applied held are presented.
