A code implementing a cellular automaton for simu lating fluid flows is presented in the style of Fortran 8X. Major data structures and the boundary characteristics are represented by bit vectors, resulting in efficient use of memory. Use of vector-length, bitwise operations yields significant speedup. The code is equally applicable to other vector supercomputers that support the full range of boolean operations.
