As part of an exploratory study of the suitability of hypercube multiprocessors for scientific computations, the non-linear magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code RSF was parallelized for use on an Intel iPSC hypercube. This report presents the numerical algorithm of RSF and the techniques used to obtain parallelism without sacrificing the numerical properties of the serial algorithm. Timing results are presented for a sample problem.
