Special purpose computers in statistical physics

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1986, vol. 140, issue 1, 421-427

Abstract: A new trend in physics, namely the building of special purpose computers (SPC), is reviewed. Special emphasis is given to the following questions: Why does one build SPC's? When is it worthwhile to build an SPC? How does one proceed if one wants to build an SPC? Finally the most important results that have been obtained for statistical physics through SPC's up to now will be sketched.
