Abstract: We have designed and built a special purpose processor with a very good performance to price ratio, which permits to propose a new way for parallel computing. A simple one spin flip Monte Carlo algorithm is realized in hardware, so the processor is suitable for studies of dynamic as well as thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Ising model with different types of inhomogeneities. The speed of the processor is defined completely by the speed of memories used in it: to perform an elementary Monte Carlo step the processor needs a time only several percent larger than one memory cycle time. So it realizes the fastest possible one spin flip Monte Carlo processor architecture.
