A kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of dislocation motion is introduced. The dislocations are assumed to be composed of pure edge and screw segments confined to a fixed lattice. The stress and temperature dependence of the dislocation velocity is studied, and finite-size effects are discussed. It is argued that surfaces and boundaries may play a significant role in the velocity of dislocations. The simulated dislocations are shown to display kinetic roughening according to the exponents predicted by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.
