Abstract: The implementation of a Monte Carlo code for simulations of liquid crystal lattice models on the Quadrics massively parallel SIMD supercomputer is described. The use of a Quadrics with 512 processors is proving essential in studying the nematic–isotropic phase transition to an unprecedented level of accuracy using more than 106particles. Here some tests on the Lebwohl–Lasher model with and without an applied field are presented.
