TY - GEN A1 - Streuer, Thomas A1 - Stüben, Hinnerk T1 - Simulations of QCD in the Era of Sustained Tflop/s Computing N2 - The latest machine generation installed at supercomputer centres in Germany offers a peak performance in the tens of Tflop/s range. We study performance and scaling of our quantum chromodynamics simulation programme BQCD that we obtained on two of these machines, an IBM Blue Gene/L and an SGI Altix 4700. We compare the performance of Fortran/MPI code with assembler code. The latter allows to exploit concurrency at more levels, in particular in overlapping communication and computation as well as prefetching data from main memory.
