Distributed Processing of the Lattice in Monte Carlo Simulations of the Ising Type Spin Model

Abstract

Parallelization of processing in Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising spin system with the lattice distributed in a stripe way is proposed. Message passing is applied and one-sided MPI communication with the MPI memory window is exploited. The 2D Ising spin lattice model is taken for testing purposes. The scalability of processing in our simulations is tested in real-life computing on high performance multicomputers and discussed on the basis of speedup and efficiency. The larger the lattice the better scalability is obtained.
