Abstract
We developed a parallel code to be used in the simulations of electron beam bunching, where time evolution of electron beam was studied as an inital value problem. Parallel calculations were carried out by using transputers, those were added on in a personal computer. In the present report, 17 transputers were used. Calculation speed was found to be increased due to Amdahl's law. It was found that communication between parallelized tasks took finite time, which could not be ignored.
