Abstract

Results for the temperature of the color deconfinement phase transition in pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory are described. These were obtained on a specially built 16-node, 256 Megaflop computer using the Metropolis algorithm. The architecture, performance, and expansion plans for this machine are also discussed.
