%X Computer simulation of systems (e.g. magnetic fusion,
   nuclear power plants, weather forecasting, ...) will have a
   strong impact on theoretical and experimental research in
   the future, because experiments on real systems are
   impossible due to the danger, the cost or the duration of
   the experiment. Computer simulation of a system is therefore
   an attractive alternative. Generally, large and complicated
   systems are simulated, so this requires an enormous amount
   of computing power. In this paper, we describe the
   possibility to use a home\-built multitransputersystem, The
   Computing Tower, for system simulation and methods to
   implement a block\-structured simulation language on this
   system the most efficient way.
