Performance of a Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Kernel on the Cell Processor
arXiv:0804.3654 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2008.06.006
Abstract
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, indicating that the Cell processor is likely to be a good platform for future Lattice QCD calculations.
