This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $120,650 from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to the University of California, Berkeley to develop optimized software for lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) computations on modern GPU-accelerated supercomputer systems.

The project aims to advance the computational capabilities for studying the physics of hadron-hadron interactions, including baryon-meson and baryon-baryon scattering, as well as nucleon form factors and transitions, which are crucial for accelerator-based neutrino experiments. The key objectives are to develop highly-optimized software to efficiently evaluate baryon sources/sinks on GPU-accelerated architectures, and to create software to bundle numerous tensor contraction jobs into efficient supercomputer workflows. This work will enable more accurate and scalable LQCD simulations to better understand the structure of atomic nuclei and support current and future particle physics experiments.
