Abstract We describe a concurrent implementation on cost-effective transputer arrays of a molecular dynamics program to efficiently simulate physical systems consisting of thousands of mobile particles with an interaction range much shorter than the system dimensions. This program, which uses a geometric decomposition strategy and includes a distributed dynamic load balancer, has been extensively tested by simulating the two-dimensional spinodal phase separation of a large Lennard-Jones system.
