Lattice QCD on a Beowulf Cluster
نویسنده
چکیده
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 hidden cost in constructing a do-it-yourself parallel computer and only

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 کاملComparing Clusters and Supercomputers for Lattice QCD
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 features are identified, and the cost effectiveness of clusters and supercomputers are compared.
متن کاملData Envelopment Analysis from simulation on the Lattice QCD using CCR model
One of the most serious principles in production theory in economic is the principle of "efficiency". Simply put, efficiency can be defined as the demand that the desired goals (outputs) are achieved with the minimum use of the available resources (inputs). In order to, distinguish the relative efficiency of organizational units with multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs, "Data Envelopmen...
متن کاملThe Scyld Beowulf System
Beowulf systems are high performance computers constructed from commodity hardware connected by a private internal network and running an open source operating system infrastructure. This tutorial will cover design, installation, deployment and running Beowulf clusters. It will be focused on the Scyld Beowulf system, and will include specific examples and a complete cluster installation CD-ROM.
متن کاملA scalable PC - based parallel computer for lattice QCD
A PC-based parallel computer for medium/large scale lattice QCD simulations is suggested. The Eötvös Univ., Inst. Theor. Phys. cluster consists of 137 Intel P4-1.7GHz nodes. Gigabit Ethernet cards are used for nearest neighbor communication in a two-dimensional mesh. The sustained performance for dynamical staggered(wilson) quarks on large lattices is around 70(110) GFlops. The exceptional pric...
