Abstract
We are currently performing large-scale numerical simulations of dynamically triangulated random surfaces on several parallel computers. Herein we briefly explain the importance of random surface simulations and describe in detail our computer program that simulates such surfaces with extrinsic curvature in arbitrary dimension. As this program is an ideal benchmark of the scalar performance of a computer, we also present performance measurements for it on several sequential and parallel machines.
