A processor has been constructed using a 'pipeline' architecture to simulate many-body systems with long-range forces. It has a speed equivalent to 120 megaflops, and the architecture can be readily parallelized to make teraflop machines a feasible possibility. The machine can be adapted to study molecular dynamics, plasma dynamics and astrophysical hydrodynamics with only minor modifications.
