中文摘要: 格点量子色动力学(QCD)是从第一原理出发求解QCD的非微扰方法, 通过在超立方格子上模拟胶子场和费米子场相互作用, 其计算结果被认为是对强相互作用现象的可靠描述, 格点计算对QCD理论研究意义重大. 但是, 格点QCD计算具有非常大的计算自由度导致计算效率难以提升, 通常对格子体系采用区域分解的方法实现并行计算的可扩展性, 但如何提升数据并行计算效率仍然是核心问题. 本文以格点QCD典型软件Grid为例, 研究格点QCD计算中的数据并行计算模式, 围绕格点QCD中的复杂张量计算和提升大规模并行计算效率的问题, 开展格点QCD方法中数据并行计算特征的理论分析, 之后针对Grid软件的SIMD和OpenMP等具体数据并行计算方式进行性能测试分析, 最后阐述数据并行计算模式对格点QCD计算应用的重要意义.
Abstract:Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a non-perturbative method for solving QCD based on the first principles. By simulating the interaction between gluon field and fermion field on super-cubic lattice, the calculated results are considered to be a reliable description of the phenomenon of strong interaction. Lattice calculation is of great significance to the study of QCD theory. However, the lattice QCD computing has a very large degree of freedom, which makes it difficult to improve the computational efficiency. Usually, the domain decomposition method is used to realize the scalability of parallel computing, but how to improve the efficiency of data parallel computing is still the core problem. In this work, taking Grid, a typical lattice QCD software, as an example, the data parallel computing pattern in lattice QCD computing is studied. Focusing on the complex tensor computing in lattice QCD and improving the efficiency of large-scale parallel computing, the theoretical analysis of data parallel computing features in lattice QCD method is carried out, and then the performance test and analysis are carried out for the specific data parallel computing methods such as SIMD and OpenMP of Grid software. Finally, the significance of data parallel computing pattern to the application of lattice QCD computing is explained.
