Visualization for Lattice QCD
Massimo Dipierro · Proceedings of The XXV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory — PoS(LATTICE 2007) · 2008
We present a prototype visualization toolkit for Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics.The toolkit consists of a set of parallel algorithms for the computation of the topological charge, energy density, density of heat-bath hits, two and three point correlation functions, that are interfaced with a Graphical User Interface for an interactive visualization of the fields.The toolkit allows both real-time and off-line visualization, scripting for automation, and the ability to combine individual frames into animations (to produce, for example, an animation of the topological charge as function of the MCMC step).The toolkit also includes analysis and plotting tools to automate the typical workflow of Lattice QCD computations.
