Abstract
The QCDSP machines were designed for lattice gauge calculations. For planning it is crucial to explore this architecture for other computationally intensive tasks. Here I describe an implementation of a simple message passing scheme. With the objective being simplicity, I introduce a small number of generic functions for manipulating a large data set spread over the machine. I test the scheme on three applications: a fast Fourier transform, arbitrary dimension SU(N) pure lattice gauge theory, and the manipulation of Fermionic Fock states through a distributed hash table. These routines compile both on QCDSP and a Unix workstation.
