Fortran code for SU(3) lattice gauge theory with and without MPI checkerboard parallelization

Abstract
We document plain Fortran and Fortran MPI checkerboard code for Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson action in D dimensions. The Fortran code uses periodic boundary conditions and is suitable for pedagogical purposes and small scale simulations. For the Fortran MPI code two geometries are covered: the usual torus with periodic boundary conditions and the double-layered torus as defined in the paper. Parallel computing is performed on checkerb...

Nature of problem
Physics of pure SU(3) Quantum Field Theory (QFT). This is relevant for our understanding of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). It includes the glueball spectrum, topological properties and the deconfining phase transition of pure SU(3) QFT. For instance, Relativistic Heavy Ion Collision (RHIC) experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory provide evidence that quarks confined in hadrons undergo at high enough temperature and pressure a transition into a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Investigations of ...
