High performance Beowulf computer for lattice QCD
The ZhongShan University Computational Physics group’s interests [1] cover such topics as lattice QCD[2–5] quantum instanton[6] and quantum chaos[7]. Most of these topics can be studied through Monte Carlo simulation, but can be quite costly in terms of computing power. In order to do large scale numerical investigations of these topics, we required a corresponding development of our local comp...
متن کاملLattice QCD on a Beowulf Cluster
Even a modest lattice QCD project demands quite large amount of computing resources. In this regard, it has always been an attractive idea to build a cheap high performance computing platform out of commodity PC’s and commodity networking devices. However, the availability of cheap hardware components solved only a part of problem in building a parallel computer in the past. There were large hi...
متن کاملPerformance of machines for lattice QCD simulations
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 custom-designed machines. We also speculate on future developments. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial...
متن کاملHigh Performance Computing and Beowulf Clusters
Networks of personal computers (so called Beowulf systems) composed of fast PCs configured with large quantities of RAM and hard disk, and running the Linux operating system are becoming more and more attractive as cheap and efficient platforms for distributed applications. The main drawback of a standard Beowulf architecture is the poor performance of the conventional inter-process communicati...
متن کاملQCDOC: A lo-teraflops scale computer for lattice QCD *
The architecture of a new claw of computem, optimised for lattice QCD calculations, is described. An individual node is based on a single integrated circuit containing a PowerPC 3> bit integer processor with a 1 Gflops 64-bit IEEE floating point unit, 4 Mbyte of memory, 8 Gbit/eec nearest-neighbor communications end additional control and diagnostic circuitry. The machine’s name, QCDOC, derives...
