We report an implementation of a code for SU(3) matrix multiplication on Cell/B.E., which is a part of our project, Lattice Tool Kit on Cell/B.E.. On QS20, the speed of the matrix multiplication on SPE in single precision is 227GFLOPS and it becomes 20GFLOPS {this vaule was remeasured and corrcted.} together with data transfer from main memory by DNA transfer, which is 4.6% of the hardware peak speed (460GFLOPS), and is 7.4% of the theoretical peak speed of this calculation (268.77GFLOPS). We briefly describe our tuning procedure.

We evaluate IBMs Enhanced Cell Broadband Engine (BE) as a possible building block of a new generation of lattice QCD machines. The Enhanced Cell BE will provide full support of double-precision floating-point arithmetics, including IEEE-compliant rou
nding. We have developed a performance model and applied it to relevant lattice QCD kernels. The performance estimates are supported by micro- and application-benchmarks that have been obtained on currently available Cell BE-based computers, such as IBM QS20 blades and PlayStation 3. The results are encouraging and show that this processor is an interesting option for lattice QCD applications. For a massively parallel machine on the basis of the Cell BE, an application-optimized network needs to be developed.
We present results of the implementation of one MILC lattice QCD application-simulation with dynamical clover fermions using the hybrid-molecular dynamics R algorithm-on the Cell Broadband Engine processor. Fifty-four individual computational kernels
responsible for 98.8% of the overall execution time were ported to the Cells Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). The remaining application framework, including MPI-based distributed code execution, was left to the Cells PowerPC processor. We observe that we only infrequently achieve more than 10 GFLOPS with any of the kernels, which is just over 4% of the Cells peak performance. At the same time, many of the kernels are sustaining a bandwidth close to 20 GB/s, which is 78% of the Cells peak. This indicates that the application performance is limited by the bandwidth between the main memory and the SPEs. In spite of this limitation, speedups of 8.7x (for 8x8x16x16 lattice) and 9.6x (for 16x16x16x16 lattice) were achieved when comparing a 3.2 GHz Cell processor to a single core of a 2.33 GHz Intel Xeon processor. When comparing the code scaled up to execute on a dual-Cell blade and a quad-core dual-chip Intel Xeon blade, the speedups are 1.5x (8x8x16x16 lattice) and 4.1x (16x16x16x16 lattice).
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
compute power of the processor is provided by 8 Synergistic Processing Units. Making efficient use of these accelerator cores in scientific applications is challenging. In this paper we describe our strategies for porting applications to the QPACE architecture and report on performance numbers.
We report on coding and performance of our polynomial hybrid Monte Carlo program on the Earth Simulator. At present the entire program achieves 25--40% efficiency. An analysis of overheads shows that a tuning of inter-node communications is required for further improvement.
We perform a pilot study of the perturbative renormalization of a Supersymmetric gauge theory with matter fields on the lattice. As a specific example, we consider Supersymmetric ${cal N}{=}1$ QCD (SQCD). We study the self-energies of all particles w
hich appear in this theory, as well as the renormalization of the coupling constant. To this end we compute, perturbatively to one-loop, the relevant two-point and three-point Greens functions using both dimensional and lattice regularizations. Our lattice formulation involves the Wilson discretization for the gluino and quark fields; for gluons we employ the Wilson gauge action; for scalar fields (squarks) we use naive discretization. The gauge group that we consider is $SU(N_c)$, while the number of colors, $N_c$, the number of flavors, $N_f$, and the gauge parameter, $alpha$, are left unspecified. We obtain analytic expressions for the renormalization factors of the coupling constant ($Z_g$) and of the quark ($Z_psi$), gluon ($Z_u$), gluino ($Z_lambda$), squark ($Z_{A_pm}$), and ghost ($Z_c$) fields on the lattice. We also compute the critical values of the gluino, quark and squark masses. Finally, we address the mixing which occurs among squark degrees of freedom beyond tree level: we calculate the corresponding mixing matrix which is necessary in order to disentangle the components of the squark field via an additional finite renormalization.
