- Summary:
- Computer Simulation is a very important tool in modern science, playing an intermediate role between theoretical models and experiments. In particular, an important fraction of the human knowledge about critical phenomena and phase transitions is due to computer simulations performed on statistical models. In this text, a class of statistical models that allows parallel processing using conventional hardware is treated using only personal computers. This class of systems is defined on a discrete lattice of points, and every point holds a Boolean variable that can assume only two values, 1 or 0
