Abstract

We report on preliminary results from the calculations of the QCD equation of state for 2+1+1 flavors using HISQ action. The calculations are performed on lattices with temporal extents Nτ=6, 8, 10N_{\tau}=6,~8,~10, and 1212 and aspect ratio Nσ/Nτ=4N_{\sigma}/N_{\tau}=4. We find that there is a significant contribution to the pressure from charm quarks at temperatures T>300T> 300 MeV.
