National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory: Accomplishments and Opportunities Lattice QCD Executive Committee
نویسنده
چکیده
The objective of the SciDAC Project National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory is to construct the computational infrastructure needed to study quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of the strong forces of subatomic physics. Nearly all high energy and nuclear physicists in the United States working on the numerical study of QCD are involved in this project, and the infrastructure created will be available to all. The project includes the development of community software for the effective use of terascale computers, and research and development of specialized computers for the study of QCD.

متن کاملUS QCD Computational Performance Studies with PERI
We report on some of the interactions between two SciDAC projects: The National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory (USQCD), and the Performance Engineering Research Institute (PERI). Many modern scientific programs consistently report the need for faster computational resources to maintain global competitiveness. However, as the size and complexity of emerging high end comput...

Over the next decade high performance computing resources will reach the petaflops scale. Coupled with current and planned experiments at RHIC, FAIR, and the LHC, these computational resources will offer significant opportunities for the advancement of our understanding of the properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures and densities. We describe expected quantitative and qua...
