The application of parallel processing to mixed-mode systems is discussed. A simplified version of an important application area in personal communications is used to demonstrate that simple partitioning of the overall computer task can lead to speed-ups in the simulation run times from those achieved using single processor systems. In addition, it is argued that the parallel processing approach is highly suited to mixed-mode systems due to the straightforward mapping between different elements of the problem being studied and the computing hardware
