Abstract
Design of a dedicated parallel computer for spin models featuring 150 ps per spin update range and lattice configuration of 224 spins is described. This computer can process various classes of Spin Glass models up to third order neighbours and three dimensions. Processing elements of the simplified prototype version are based on Programmable Logic Device (PLD) technology while the final machine will benefit by custom devices. Prototype machine is expected to work in Summer 1996, the final computer one year later. The computer is designed in collaboration of Spanish and Italian universities.
