MILC on GPUs
Gushing Shi, Steven Gottlieb, Volodymyr Kindratenko · 2011
The MIMD Lattice Computation (MILC) [1] code, a Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) application used to simulate four-dimensional SU(3) lattice gauge theory, is one of the largest compute cycle users at many supercomputing centers. Previously we have investigated how one of MILC applications can be accelerated on the Cell Broadband Engine [3]. In this work, we investigate how this code can take advantage of the newly emerging GPU computing paradigm.
