Simulating spin systems on IANUS, an FPGA-based computer

Abstract: We describe the hardwired implementation of algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations of a large class of spin models. We have implemented these algorithms as VHDL codes and we have mapped them onto a dedicated processor based on a large FPGA device. The measured performance on one such processor is comparable to O (100) carefully programmed high-end PCs: it turns out to be even better for some selected spin models. We describe here codes that we are currently executing on the IANUS massively parallel FPGA-based … Show more

“…We have run simulations for several lattice sizes on the Janus supercomputer [22,23,24] (for L = 16, 24, and 32) and on conventional computers (for L = 8 and 12). These simulations were originally reported in [20], which gives full details on the chosen parameters and the thermalization protocol.…”
