Status of the QPACE Project
H. Baier, H. Boettiger, M. Drochner +27
We give an overview of the QPACE project, which is pursuing the development of a massively parallel, scalable supercomputer for LQCD. The machine is a three-dimensional torus of id…
Comparison of filtering methods in SU(3) lattice gauge theory
F. Bruckmann, F. Gruber, C. B. Lang +4
We systematically compare filtering methods used to extract topological excitations from lattice gauge configurations. We show that there is a strong correlation of the topological…
QCD on the Cell Broadband Engine
F. Belletti, G. Bilardi, M. Drochner +16
We evaluate IBM's Enhanced Cell Broadband Engine (BE) as a possible building block of a new generation of lattice QCD machines. The Enhanced Cell BE will provide full support of do…
QPACE -- a QCD parallel computer based on Cell processors
H. Baier, H. Boettiger, M. Drochner +32
QPACE is a novel parallel computer which has been developed to be primarily used for lattice QCD simulations. The compute power is provided by the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor, an e…
