We discuss the implementation and optimization challenges for a Wilson-Dirac solver with Clover term on QPACE, a parallel machine based on Cell processors and a torus network. We choose the mixed-precision Schwarz preconditioned FGCR algorithm in order to circumvent network bandwidth and latency constraints, to make efficient use of the multicore parallelism and on-chip memory, and to achieve flexibility in the choice of lattice sizes. We present benchmarks on up to 256 QPACE nodes showing an aggregate sustained performance of about 10 TFlops for the complete solver and very good scaling.
QPACE is a novel massively parallel architecture optimized for lattice QCD simulations. A single QPACE node is based on the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor. The nodes are interconnected by a custom 3-dimensional torus network implemented on an FPGA. The
We describe our experience porting the Regensburg implementation of the DD-$alpha$AMG solver from QPACE 2 to QPACE 3. We first review how the code was ported from the first generation Intel Xeon Phi processor (Knights Corner) to its successor (Knight
We give an overview of the QPACE project, which is pursuing the development of a massively parallel, scalable supercomputer for LQCD. The machine is a three-dimensional torus of identical processing nodes, based on the PowerXCell 8i processor. The no
QPACE is a novel parallel computer which has been developed to be primarily used for lattice QCD simulations. The compute power is provided by the IBM PowerXCell 8i processor, an enhanced version of the Cell processor that is used in the Playstation
We discuss the structure of the Dirac equation and how the nilpotent and the Majorana operators arise naturally in this context. This provides a link between Kauffmans work on discrete physics, iterants and Majorana Fermions and the work on nilpotent
