I have just checked<br />in the code, written by Chris Richards, to do variational<br />smearing of the scalar channel.<br /><br />I will first add the new code for heavy-light mesons<br />that is used by HPQCD. I will then add the binary readers<br />system that the ex-Liverpool group added to inline_spectrum.h,<br />because of the IO problems on one machine.CraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336777617024904643.post-23489986213796038862009-03-26T14:45:00.000-07:002009-03-26T14:47:47.558-07:00Staggered documentationI have made a start at documenting part of the <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/chromacommunitydocs/staggered-fermions-uk-style">staggered fermion code in Chroma.<br /></a>CraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336777617024904643.post-79580143982258275912009-03-24T10:03:00.000-07:002009-03-24T10:05:23.484-07:00Start of FAQI have started the <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/chromacommunitydocs/faq-for-chroma">FAQ page</a> with some information about how to print the gauge field to the standard output.CraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336777617024904643.post-58722291289853290522009-03-24T09:54:00.000-07:002009-03-24T10:07:41.539-07:00NEWS in textNow that I look at the Chroma source, Robert has been using the <a href="http://usqcd.jlab.org/usqcd-software/chroma/chroma/NEWS">NEWS</a> text file to report on the new developments in Chroma. This of course works, and is fine, but is not as buzz word compliant as blogging. <br /><br />Richard Stallman complains when people put their data on the cloud. We need a way to keep hold of the information in this blog. I think this is possible.CraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336777617024904643.post-53203918256037933642009-03-22T07:59:00.001-07:002009-03-22T08:02:19.361-07:00Large NcI have added the<a href="http://sites.google.com/site/chromacommunitydocs/nc-3-in-chroma"> basic note</a> on using Chroma with Nc <> 3 to the community documentation pagesCraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3336777617024904643.post-65477699065202507372009-03-22T07:13:00.000-07:002009-03-22T07:25:28.432-07:00Why we started this BLOG.This BLOG has been created to document the development<br />of the <a href="http://usqcd.jlab.org/usqcd-docs/chroma/">Chroma lattice QCD library</a>. In the past this type of<br />information was circulated using the email lists. One disadvantage<br />of email lists is that it is hard to find information in<br />your INBOX. The BLOG keeps all the information in one place.<br />To keep up to date with recent posts you can use the RSS feed of this BLOG.<br />The motivation for this BLOG was based on reading the<br /><a href="http://scotgrid.blogspot.com/">Scotgrid on Fire blog</a>.<br /><br />In the addition to this BLOG, there is also a <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/chromacommunitydocs/">wiki like</a> area where documentation can be added. The user documentation site is hosted by google, so this should be easier to register<br />with. (Of course this means that google could be spying on your<br />work with chroma, well who knows perhaps you will get a targeted<br />advert about running code on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing">google cloud.)</a><br /><br />Another way to keep up to date with the additional code<br />going into Chroma is to check the <a href="http://usqcd.jlab.org/usqcd-software/chroma/chroma/ChangeLog.html">CVS commit logs</a>. Just in case this BLOG doesn't get updated regularly.CraigMcNeilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00292137283015549566noreply@blogger.com0
