Multitasking the Ising model on the ETA 10 supercomputer

A discussion is presented of multitasking various scientific programs on the ETA 10 supercomputer. The architecture of the ETA 10 is described, especially the features relevant for understanding the authors' strategy for multitasking the Ising model. This strategy will also be useful for a wide class of physical systems that have local interactions. The authors also summarize their results for solving large, dense, unsymmetric systems of linear equations, i.e. the LINPACK benchmark. They summarize the multitasking software that will soon be available for general use on the ETA 10.<>
