We report on our implementation of the RHMC algorithm for the simulation of
lattice QCD with two staggered flavors on Graphics Processing Units, using the
NVIDIA CUDA programming language. The main feature of our code is that the GPU
is not used just as an accelerator, but instead the whole Molecular Dynamics
trajectory is performed on it. After pointing out the main bottlenecks and how
to circumvent them, we discuss the obtained performances. We present some
preliminary results regarding OpenCL and multiGPU extensions of our code and
discuss future perspectives.Comment: 22 pages, 14 eps figures, final version to be published in Computer
