Abstract: I propose a numerical simulation algorithm for statistical systems which combines a microcanonical transfer of energy with global changes in clusters of spins. The advantages of the cluster approach near a critical point augment the speed increases associated with multispin coding in the microcanonical approach. The method also provides a limited ability to tune the average cluster size.
