SU(2) Lattice Gauge Theory Simulations on Fermi GPUs

Understand

In this work we explore the performance of CUDA in quenched lattice SU(2) simulations.

• CUDA, NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture, is a hardware and software architecture developed by NVIDIA for computing on the GPU.
• We present an analysis and performance comparison between the GPU and CPU in single and double precision.
• Analyses with multiple GPUs and two different architectures (G200 and Fermi architectures) are also presented.
