A numerical reinvestigation of the Aoki phase with $N_f=2$ Wilson fermions at zero temperature
(2003)
We report on a numerical reinvestigation of the Aoki phase in lattice QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions where the parity-flavor symmetry is spontaneously broken. For this purpose the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm was used and an explicit symmetry-breaking source term $h\bar{\psi} i \gamma_{5} \tau^{3}\psi$ was added to the Wilson fermion action. The order parameter $\langle\bar{\psi}i\gamma_{5}\tau^{3}\psi\rangle$ was studied at several values of $(\beta,\kappa,h)$ on lattices of sizes $4^4$ to $12^4$. Our largest lattices can be considered as infintely large allowing to extrapolate to $h=0$. The existence of a parity-flavor-breaking phase can be confirmed at $\beta=4.0$ and $\beta=4.3$ while we find no sign of parity-flavor-breaking at $\beta=4.6$ and $\beta=5.0$.
Hasenbusch has proposed splitting the pseudo-fermionic action into two parts, in order to speed-up Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations of QCD. We have tested a different splitting, also using clover-improved Wilson fermions. An additional speed-up between 5 and 20\% over the original proposal was achieved in production runs.
Seit fast drei Jahren betreibt das Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin (ZIB) Parallelrechner der höchsten Leistungsklasse im normalen Rechenzentrumsbetrieb. Bereits im Mai 1995 hat das ZIB über seine Erfahrungen mit dem damals leistungsstärksten Parallelrechner Deutschlands berichtet. Das Gesamtkonzept des ZIB sieht weiterhin einen Höchstleistungsrechner als unabdingbaren Bestandteil des High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC) im ZIB vor. Der vorliegende Bericht beschreibt die aktuelle Konfiguration, Betriebserfahrungen und die Rechnernutzung sowie typische Rechenleistungen, die für einzelne Anwendungsprogramme erzielt wurden. Beschreibungen der Forschungsgebiete mit den Forschungsgruppen, die den Rechner nutzen und die Anforderungen an den Rechnerausbau, die sich aus deren Arbeiten herleiten, beschließen den Bericht.
\textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is a comprehensive set of tools for creating customized graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It draws from the concept of computing portals, which are here seen as interfaces to application-specific computing services for user communities. While \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} was originally designed for the use in computational grids, it can be used in client/server environments as well. Compared to other GUI generators, \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}} is more versatile and more portable. It can be employed in many different application domains and on different target platforms. With \textsf{\itshape{GuiGen}}, application experts (rather than computer scientists) are able to create their own individually tailored GUIs.
UMTS is a 3rd generation mobile telecommunication system which enables multi-service and multi-bit rate communication going beyond the possibilities of previous systems. The simulator MoDySim models UMTS in great detail. Characteristics of UMTS such as soft hand-over and the interdependency of load and capacity among neighbouring cells are challenges for the parallelisation of such a system. In this paper we explain how the software was parallelised and present performance results of a UMTS simulation for the city of Berlin.
