 note = {The deconfining finite-temperature transition of SU(3) gauge theory is studied on the dedicated parallel computer QCDPAX. Monte Carlo simulations are performed on 12^2×24×4, 24^2×36×4, 20^3×6, 24^3×6, and 36^2×48×6 lattices with 376 000 to 1 112 000 iterations. The finite size scaling behavior of the first-order transition is confirmed both on the Nt=4 and Nt=6 lattices and clear two-phase structures are observed on spatially large lattices (24^2×36×4 and 36^2×48×6). The latent heat at the deconfining transition is estimated both by a direct measurement of the gap on the spatially large lattices and by applying a finite-size scaling law. The results obtained by these two independent methods are remarkably consistent with each other on both the Nt=4 lattices. The latent heat for Nt=6 is much smaller than that for Nt=4 and is about 1/3 of the Stefan-Boltzmann value 8π2/15. The details of the data and the error analysis are presented.},
