Fermilab operates several clusters for lattice gauge computing. Minimal manpower is available to manage these clusters. We have written a number of tools and developed techniques to cope with this task. We describe our tools which use the…

Since the development of the Beowulf project to build a parallel computer from commodity PC components, there have been many such clusters built. The MILC QCD code has been run on a variety of clusters and supercomputers. Key design…

We present here the most recent version of FermiQCD, a collection of C++ classes, functions and parallel algorithms for lattice QCD, based on Matrix Distributed Processing. FermiQCD allows fast development of parallel lattice applications…

We outline the essential features of a Linux PC cluster which is now being developed at National Taiwan University, and discuss how to optimize its hardware and software for lattice QCD with overlap Dirac quarks. At present, the cluster…

A computational system for lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry is described. The platform is a home-made Linux PC cluster, built with off-the-shelf components. At present this system constitutes of 64 nodes, with each node consisting of…

I highlight recent progress in cluster computer technology and assess status and prospects of cluster computers for lattice QCD with respect to the development of QCDOC and apeNEXT. Taking the LatFor test case, I specify a 512-processor…

Using commodity component personal computers based on Alpha processor and commodity network devices and a switch, we built an 8-node parallel computer. GNU/Linux is chosen as an operating system and message passing libraries such as PVM,…

Lattice Gauge Theory is an integral part of particle physics that requires high performance computing in the multi-Tflops regime. These requirements are motivated by the rich research program and the physics milestones to be reached by the…

It is shown that the 21264 Alpha processor can reach about 20% sustained efficiency for the inversion of the Wilson-Dirac operator. Since fast ethernet is not sufficient to get balancing between computation and communication on reasonable…

We review the architecture of massively parallel machines used for lattice QCD simulations and present benchmarks for the performance of popular algorithms on these platforms. We cover commercial supercomputers, PC clusters, and…

QCDLAB is a set of programs, written in GNU Octave, for lattice QCD computations. Version 2.0 includes the generation of configurations for the SU(3) theory, computation of rectangle Wilson loops as well as the low lying meson spectrum with…

We have used Fortran 90 to implement lattice QCD. We have designed a set of machine independent modules that define fields (gauge, fermions, scalars, etc...) and overloaded operators for all possible operations between fields, matrices and…

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…

The implementation of a proof-of-concept Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics kernel on the Cell processor is described in detail, illustrating issues encountered in the porting process. The resulting code performs up to 45GFlop/s per socket,…

Matrix Distributed Processing is a collection of classes and functions written in C++ for fast development of efficient parallel algorithms for the most general lattice/grid application. FermiQCD is an Object Oriented Lattice QCD…

QCDOC is a massively parallel supercomputer whose processing nodes are based on an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This ASIC was custom-designed so that crucial lattice QCD kernels achieve an overall sustained performance of…

An overview is given of the QCDOC architecture, a massively parallel and highly scalable computer optimized for lattice QCD using system-on-a-chip technology. The heart of a single node is the PowerPC-based QCDOC ASIC, developed in…

A PC-based parallel computer for medium/large scale lattice QCD simulations is suggested. The Eotvos Univ., Inst. Theor. Phys. cluster consists of 137 Intel P4-1.7GHz nodes. Gigabit Ethernet cards are used for nearest neighbor communication…

Current PC processors are equipped with vector processing units and have other advanced features that can be used to accelerate lattice QCD programs. Clusters of PCs with a high-bandwidth network thus become powerful and cost-effective…

FermiQCD is a C++ library for fast development of parallel Lattice Quantum Field Theory computations. It has been developed following a top-down fully Object Oriented design approach with focus on simplicity of use. FermiQCD includes: a…
