Extreme Scaling of Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the complexity and size of challenges in science and engineering are continually increasing, it is highly important that applications are able to scale strongly to very large numbers of cores (>100,000 cores) to enable HPC systems to be utilised efficiently. This paper presents results of strong scaling tests performed with an MPI only and a hybrid MPI + OpenMP version of the Lattice QCD application BQCD on the European Tier-0 system SuperMUC at LRZ.

From enemies to friends: chiral symmetry on the lattice
The physics of strong interactions is invariant under the exchange of left-handed and righthanded quarks, at least in the massless limit. This invariance is reflected in the chiral symmetry of quantum chromodynamics. Surprisingly, it has become clear only recently how to implement this important symmetry in lattice formulations of quantum field theories. We will discuss realizations of exact la...
متن کاملTopological susceptibility in staggered fermion chiral perturbation theory
Abstract The topological susceptibility of the vacuum in quantum chromodynamics has been simulated numerically using the Asqtad improved staggered fermion formalism. At nonzero lattice spacing the residual fermion doublers (fermion “tastes”) in the staggered fermion formalism give contributions to the susceptibility that deviate from conventional continuum chiral perturbation theory. In this br...

متن کاملLattice QCD with Domain Decomposition on Intel
The gap between the cost of moving data and the cost of computing continues to grow, making it ever harder to design iterative solvers on extreme-scale architectures. This problem can be alleviated by alternative algorithms that reduce the amount of data movement. We investigate this in the context of Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics and implement such an alternative solver algorithm, based on do...
