The Chroma Library for Lattice Field Theory

The Chroma package supports data-parallel programming constructs for lattice field theory and in particular lattice QCD. It uses the SciDAC QDP++ data-parallel programming (in C++) that presents a single high-level code image to the user, but can generate highly optimized code for many architectural systems including single node workstations, multi-threaded SMP workstations (soon to come), clusters of workstations via QMP, and classic vector computers.

Source code

Chroma source code is available via github here. Some of the common branches are:

• The master is the canonical stable branch
• The devel branch is the branch with the proposed changes for the next version
