Abstract

Extensive numerical simulations of random magnetic materials have been recently performed at AT&T Bell Laboratories with a fast specially designed computer. I will discuss certain issues concerning the use of specialized computers in research, and I will review some major results obtained in simulations of a three-dimensional spin glass and an antiferromagnet with random fields.
