Rough Gauge Fields, Smearing and Domain Wall Fermions
At a fixed lattice spacing, as determined by say m_\rho, adding additional
fermion flavors to a dynamical simulation produces rougher gauge field
configurations at the lattice scale. For domain wall fermions, these rough
configurations lead to larger residual chiral symmetry breaking and larger
values for the residual masses, m_{res}. We discuss ongoing attempts to reduce
chiral symmetry breaking for N_f = 3 dynamical domain wall fermion simulations
by different smoothing choices for the gauge fields.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. Talk presented at Lattice2004(chiral), Fermilab,

Performance Portability Strategies for Grid C++ Expression Templates
One of the key requirements for the Lattice QCD Application Development as
part of the US Exascale Computing Project is performance portability across
multiple architectures. Using the Grid C++ expression template as a starting
point, we report on the progress made with regards to the Grid GPU offloading
strategies. We present both the successes and issues encountered in using CUDA,
OpenACC and Just-In-Time compilation. Experimentation and performance on GPUs
with a SU(3)SU(3) streaming test will be reported. We will also report
on the challenges of using current OpenMP 4.x for GPU offloading in the same
code.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures. Talk presented at the 35th International

Nucleon structure from 2+1-flavor dynamical DWF lattice QCD at nearly physical pion mass
Domain-wall fermions (DWF) is a lattice discretization for Dirac fields that
preserves continuum-like chiral and flavor symmetries that are essential in
hadron physics. RIKEN-BNL-Columbia (RBC) and UKQCD Collaborations have been
generating sets of realistic 2+1-flavor dynamical lattice quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) numerical ensembles with DWF quarks with strange mass set
almost exactly at its physical value via reweighing and degenerate up and down
mass set as light as practical. In this report the current status of the
nucleon-structure calculations using these ensembles are summarized.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, talk presented at Erice School "From Quarks and
