Designing machines for lattice physics and algorithm investigation

Creators

Description

Special-purpose computers are appropriate tools for the study of lattice gauge theory. While these machines deliver considerable processing power, it is also important to be able to program complex physics ideas and investigate algorithms on them. We examine features that facilitate coding of physics problems, and flexibility in algorithms. Appropriate balances among power, memory, communications and I/O capabilities are presented. 10 refs
