Abstract
We report on the status of the parallelization of GEANT, a MonteCarlo program used to simulate the effects of radiation in matter. After having implemented a Master/Slave model on a heterogeneous cluster of workstations, we have decomposed the problem into an arbitrary topology, consisting of a combination of Master/Slave and Server/Client models. This topology consists of a Master process, an Event Producer, a number of Workers, an Event Consumer and a few servers. Special care was given to the handling of the random number generator.
