چکیده
In the last several years, tightly coupled PC clusters have become widely applied, cost effective resources for lattice gauge computations. This paper discusses the practice of building such clusters, in particular balanced design requirements. I review and quantify the improvements over time of key performance parameters and overall price to performance ratio. Applying these trends and technology forecasts given by computer equipment manufacturers, I predict the range of price to performance for lattice codes expected in the next several years.

We calculate the electromagnetic form factor of the pion in quenched lattice QCD. The non-perturbatively improved Sheikoleslami-Wohlert lattice action is used together with the consistently O(a) improved current. We calculate the pion form factor for masses down to mπ = 360 M eV , extract the charge radius, and extrapolate toward the physical pion mass. In the second part, we discuss results fo...

We report on the first large-scale study of two flavor QCD with domain wall fermions (DWF). Simulation has been carried out at three dynamical quark mass values about 1/2, 3/4, and 1 mstrange on 16 3 × 32 volume with Ls = 12 and a −1 ≈ 1.7 GeV. After discussing the details of the simulation, we report on the light hadron spectrum and decay constants.

We present calculations of the decay constants and kaon B-parameter BK as the first stage of RBC Collabo-ration's quenched numerical simulations using DBW2 gauge action and domain-wall fermions. Some of potential systematic errors and consistency to previous works are discussed.
