A fast cyber 205-ETA10 program for SU(3) lattice gauge theory

Abstract
We describe a Monte Carlo program that simulates SU(3) lattice gauge theoryon CYBER 205 and ETA^(10)computers. The program uses the Cabibbo Marinari algorithm for the updating and a novel way of gathering neighbors. It achieves a 17.1 μs updating time per link on a 2-pipe CYBER 205 using 32-bit arithmetic. The updating time per link on the ETA^(10)at Florida State University is 8.8 μs.

Title of program: U3MAIN
Catalogue Id: ABDJ_v1_0

Nature of problem
The program simulates SU(3) lattice gauge theory with periodic boundary conditions.
