QCD on α-clusters

Description

It is shown that the 21264 Alpha processor can reach about 20% sustained efficiency for the inversion of the Wilson-Dirac operator. Since fast ethernet is not sufficient to get balancing between computation and communication on reasonable lattice- and system-sizes, an interconnection using Myrinet is discussed. We find a price/performance ratio comparable with state-of-the-art SIMD-systems for lattice QCD
