MILC Code Tutorial

The updated HackLatt 2008 tutorials provide a very brief introduction to the MILC code and give instructions for building and running it. For an earlier version, see KITPC 2009 tutorials .

Prerequisites, if building with QUDA code

GPU acceleration of some time-critical routines is now supported through the QUDA package. The QUDA MILC interface is also required. It is currently a separate tar ball.

milc_qcd-7.7.11
- quda-0.5.0
- milc_interface-20-mar-2013

Prerequisites, if building with SciDAC code

Most of the MILC code can be built independently of the SciDAC code suite . Many modules now require the basic QIO and QMP packages. When SciDAC packages are desired, the following versions of the MILC code are compatible with these recent SciDAC versions and later:

- qmp-2.1.2
- qopqdp-0.7.3

Other optional supporting packages

FFTW

Current versions of the MILC code will optionally use the single-precision fftw3f or double-precsion llfw3 library in place of its own slow FT in applications that need it.
PRIMME

One of the eigensolver applications can optionally use PRIMME by Stathopoulos and McCombs.
