Abstract
This paper describes the parallelization process of the code PROMES. The parallel code, called PROMESPAR, has been carried out under a distributed platform (cluster of PCs) and using Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication subroutines.
This work has been supported by National Project CGL2007-66440-C04.
