The International Lattice Datagrid (ILDG) is a federation of several regional grids. Since most of these grids have reached production level, an increasing number of lattice scientists start to benefit from this new research infrastructure. The ILDG Middleware Working Group has the task of specifying the ILDG middleware such that interoperability among the different grids is achieved. In this paper we will present the architecture of the ILDG middleware and describe what has actually been achieved in recent years. Particular focus is given to interoperability and security issues. We will conclude with a short overview on issues which we plan to address in the near future.

We present the International Lattice Data Grid (ILDG), a loosely federated grid of grids for sharing data from Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) simulations. The ILDG comprises of metadata, file format and web-service standards, which can be used
to wrap regional data-grid interfaces, allowing seamless access to catalogues and data in a diverse set of collaborating regional grids. We discuss the technological underpinnings of the ILDG, primarily the metadata and the middleware, and offer a critique of its various aspects with the hindsight of the design work and the first full year of production.
QCD is expected to have a rich phase structure. It is empirically known to be difficult to access low temperature and nonzero chemical potential $mu$ regions in lattice QCD simulations. We address this issue in a lattice QCD with the use of a dimensi
onal reduction formula of the fermion determinant. We investigate spectral properties of a reduced matrix of the reduction formula. Lattice simulations with different lattice sizes show that the eigenvalues of the reduced matrix follow a scaling law for the temporal size $N_t$. The properties of the fermion determinant are examined using the reduction formula. We find that as a consequence of the $N_t$ scaling law, the fermion determinant becomes insensitive to $mu$ as $T$ decreases, and $mu$-independent at T=0 for $mu<m_pi/2$. The $N_t$ scaling law provides two types of the low temperature limit of the fermion determinant: (i) for low density and (ii) for high-density. The fermion determinant becomes real and the theory is free from the sign problem in both cases. In case of (ii), QCD approaches to a theory, where quarks interact only in spatial directions, and gluons interact via the ordinary Yang-Mills action. The partition function becomes exactly $Z_3$ invariant even in the presence of dynamical quarks because of the absence of the temporal interaction of quarks. The reduction formula is also applied to the canonical formalism and Lee-Yang zero theorem. We find characteristic temperature dependences of the canonical distribution and of Lee-Yang zero trajectory. Using an assumption on the canonical partition function, we discuss physical meaning of those temperature dependences and show that the change of the canonical distribution and Lee-Yang zero trajectory are related to the existence/absence of $mu$-induced phase transitions.
Our knowledge about the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential $mu_{B}$ is limited by the well known sign problem. The path integral measure, in the standard determinantal approach, becomes complex at finite $mu_{B}$ so that standard M
onte Carlo techniques cannot be directly applied. As the sign problem is representation dependent, by a suitable choice of the fundamental degrees of freedom that parameterize the partition function, it can get mild enough so that reweighting techniques can be used. A successful formulation, capable to tame the sign problem, is known since decades in the limiting case $betato 0$, where performing the gauge integration first, gives rise to a dual formulation in terms of color singlets (MDP formulation). Going beyond the strong coupling limit represents a serious challenge as the gauge integrals involved in the computation are only partially known analytically and become strongly coupled for $beta>0$. We will present explict formulae for all the integral relevant for ${rm SU}(N)$ gauge theories discretised `a la Wilson, and will discuss how they can be used to obtain a positive dual formulation, valid for all $beta$, for pure Yang Mills theory.
We discuss the status of our ongoing efforts to improve on our calculation of the $D_s$ decay constant. We show preliminary results on the ratio of the charm to the strange quark mass. We also present preliminary results for spectroscopy, decay const
ants and bottom quark mass obtained by performing calculations with highly improved staggered quarks at masses above the c mass and close to the b mass.
We use a variational technique to study heavy glueballs on gauge configurations generated with 2+1 flavours of ASQTAD improved staggered fermions. The variational technique includes glueball scattering states. The measurements were made using 2150 co
nfigurations at 0.092 fm with a pion mass of 360 MeV. We report masses for 10 glueball states. We discuss the prospects for unquenched lattice QCD calculations of the oddballs.
