Abstract: (Elsevier)

We describe a modification of the heat bath algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations. In the new algorithm the same operations are performed for each update also in the case when an a priori probability has to be generated by an acceptance-rejectance method. Thus the algorithm can always be easily implemented on vector or parallel processors.
