Deflation acceleration of lattice QCD simulations
Abstract
Description
Close to the chiral limit, many calculations in numerical lattice QCD can potentially be accelerated using low-mode deflation techniques. In this paper it is shown that the recently introduced domain-decomposed deflation subspaces can be propagated along the field trajectories generated by the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm with a modest effort. The quark forces that drive the simulation may then be computed using a deflation-accelerated solver for the lattice Dirac equation. As a consequence, the computer time required for the simulations is significantly reduced and an improved scaling behaviour of the simulation algorithm with respect to the quark mass is achieved.
