A vectorized code for the pseudofermion simulation of QCD with dynamical quarks

Abstract
We present a FORTRAN code for the Monte Carlo simulation of Quantum Chromodynamics with dynamical fermions, using the pseudofermion algorithm. The code is fully vectorized and optimized for the CDC CYBER 205, taking advantage of high performance features like 32-bit arithmetic, gather/scatter hardware and asynchronous I/O. Nonetheless, the code is largely portable and performs well on other vector computers.

Title of program: PSEUDOF
Catalogue Id: ABDH_v1_0

Nature of problem
Monte Carlo simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) often neglect the effects of virtual quark loops. These effects can be included using the pseudofermion algorithm, giving a complete solution of QCD and a more accurate description of hadronic phenomena.
