A fast vectorized program for the cyber 205 to calculate the partition function of the 3-D Ising model

Abstract
I describe a computer program that numerically estimates the density of states of the three-dimensional Ising model. The program runs at a speed of 110 million spin updates per second on a 2 pipe CDC Cyber 205 and 233 million updates per second on an ETA-10.

Title of program: MICRO
Catalogue Id: ABHR_v1_0

Nature of problem
The density of states for each energy is estimated by finding the relative frequencies of each energy using a microcanonical approach.
