Abstrakt: A recently-developed efficient, semi-rigorous synchronous algorithm for parallel kinetic Monte Carlo simulations is presented. The accuracy and parallel efficiency are studied as a function of processor size, number of processors, and the ratio D/F of monomer hopping rate (D) to deposition rate (F) for a variety of simple models of epitaxial growth. Since only local communication is required, the algorithm scales, i.e. for a large number of processors the parallel efficiency is independent of the number of processors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
