Title: Lattice Gauge
Theory and the BlueGene/L Supercomputer; The Next Generation
Important theoretical
developments in lattice fermion methods and the
unbelievable computational power of the BlueGene/L supercomputer promise
a new generation of lattice gauge theory calculations. I will describe
the lattice domain wall fermion method and give a brief
overview of the BlueGene/L. Then I will
discuss how the combination of the two can deliver unprecedented numerical
results for QCD and some SUSY theories. At the end, I will show a
"movie" of a numerical simulation of QCD (done in BG/L) as it
undergoes the thermal transition between nuclear matter and the quark-gluon
plasma.
