    {
	This paper examines the possibility of running $N$ simulations
	in parallel on a vector processor.
	In such a system each instance of execution runs identical code
	but with a different input data set.
	The main problem which is addressed is the choice of block selection
	policy,
	that is, the choice of which indivisible block of code to execute next.
	This paper investigates four block selection policies by simulating the
	execution of such a system.
	A stochastic flow-graph representation was chosen to model
	the execution of a simulation.
	A two-level block selection policy was found to have the best potential
	speedup of the four block selection policies.
	The speedup levels achieved were not large,
	and decreased when there were a large number of unique event types
	(and therefore handlers) in the simulation system.
