Abstract:
A PC-based parallel computer for medium/large scale-lattice QCD
simulations is suggested. The Eotvos Univ., Inst. Theor. Phys.
cluster consists of 137 Intel P4-1.7GHz nodes. Gigabit Ethernet
cards axe used for nearest neighbor communication in a two-
dimensional mesh. The sustained performance for dynamical
staggered(wilson) quarks on large lattices is around 70(110)
GFlops. The exceptional price/performance ratio is below
$1/Mflop.
