Parallel processing methods can be used to decrease the solu tion time of simulation models. Techniques are shown for the parallel solution of a continuous system simulation using digital hardware. Using a new VLSI single chip computer, the TRANS puter, a simple parallel digital computer system is constructed and its performance is evaluated on two example problems.
