  abstract= "In this paper we investigate the functionality of various
     parallel implementations of Simulated Annealing on a
     transputer platform. The optimization problem to be solved
     is that of efficiently finding the global minimum in
     continuous spaces. Our work concentrates on the consequences
     of long-range and short-range interactions on algorithmic
     and geometric decomposition schemes. We introduce a mixed
     transputer topology to by-pass some of the inherent time
     critical operations involved. We show that combining the
     Fast Simulated Annealing algorithm with a systolic
     decomposition strategy results in a highly efficient
     algorithm for continuous optimization problems. Experiments
     indicate that incorporation of functional decomposition of
     the energy function results in a near optimal
     implementation."
