Excited State Spectroscopy using GPUs

Robert Edwards Jefferson Lab

Hadronic & Nuclear Physics with LQCD

• Hadronic spectroscopy– Hadron resonance determinations– Exotic meson spectrum (JLab 12GeV )

• Hadronic structure– 3-D picture of hadrons from gluon & quark spin+flavor distributions– Ground & excited E&M transition form-factors (JLab 6GeV+12GeV+Mainz)– E&M polarizabilities of hadrons (Duke+CERN+Lund)

• Nuclear interactions– Nuclear processes relevant for stellar evolution– Hyperon-hyperon scattering– 3 & 4 nucleon interaction properties [Collab. w/LLNL] (JLab+LLNL)

• Beyond the Standard Model– Neutron decay constraints on BSM from Ultra Cold Neutron source (LANL)

Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy reveals fundamental aspects of hadronic physics– Essential degrees of freedom?– Gluonic excitations in mesons - exotic states of

matter?

• Status– Can extract excited hadron energies & identify spins, – Pursuing full QCD calculations with realistic quark

masses.

• New spectroscopy programs world-wide– E.g., BES III, GSI/Panda– Crucial complement to 12 GeV program at JLab.

• Excited nucleon spectroscopy (JLab)• JLab GlueX: search for gluonic excitations.

Excited states: anisotropy+operators+variational

• Anisotropic lattices with Nf=2+1 dynamical fermions– Temporal lattice spacing at < as (spatial lattice spacing)– High temporal resolution ! Resolve noisy & excited states– Major project within USQCD – Hadron Spectrum Collab.

• Extended operators– Subduction: sufficient derivatives ! nonzero overlap at

origin

• Variational method:– Distillation: matrix of correlators ! project onto excited

states

• PRD 78 (2008) & PRD 79 (2009)

• PRD 76 (2007), PRD 77 (2008), PRD 80 (2009), arxiv:1002.0818

• PRD 72 (2005), PRD 72 (2005), PRL 103 (2009)

SciDAC Impact

• Software development– QCD friendly API’s and libraries: enables high user

productivity– Allows rapid prototyping & optimization – Significant software effort for GPU-s

• Algorithm improvements– Operators & contractions: clusters (Distillation: PRL (2009))

– Mixed-precision Dirac-solvers: INCITE+clusters+GPU-s, 2-3X

– Adaptive multi-grid solvers: clusters, ~8X (?)

• Hardware development via USQCD Facilities– Adding support for new hardware– GPU-s

New Science Reach in 2010-2011

QCD Spectrum

• Gauge generation: (next dataset)– INCITE: Crays&BG/P-s, ~ 16K – 24K cores– Double precision

• Analysis (existing dataset): two-classes– Propagators (Dirac matrix inversions)

• Few GPU level• Single + half precision• No memory error-correction

– Contractions: • Clusters: few cores• Double precision + large memory

Exotic matterExotics: world summary

Exotic matter

Suggests (many) exotics within range of JLab Hall D

Previous work: photo-production rates high

Current GPU work: (strong) decays - important experimental input

Exotics: first GPU results

15

Baryon Spectrum

“Missing resonance problem”• What are collective modes?• What is the structure of the states?

– Major focus of (and motivation for) JLab Hall B– Not resolved experimentally @ 6GeV

Change at light quark mass? Decays!

Suggests spectrum at least as dense as quark model

Towards resonance determinations

• Augment with multi-particle operators– Needs “annihilation diagrams” – provided by

Distillation Ideally suited for (GPU-s)

• Resonance determination– Scattering in a finite box – discrete energy levels– Lüscher finite volume techniques– Phase shifts ! Width

• First results (partially from GPU-s)– Seems practical

Phase Shifts: demonstration

Prospects

• Anisotropic gauge production: – Useful for hadronic & nuclear physics

• Spectrum determination– Looks promising! Significant progress in last year– Possible with new correlator and operator constructions:

Distillation + Subduction– Framework for multi-particle decays: on-going work– Not discussed: photon decays -> internal probe of

structure

• GPU-s– Powerful resource for inversions– New ECC+double precision -> handle contractions

21

Extending science reach

• USQCD:– Next calculations: physical quark masses: 100 TF – 1 PF-yr– New INCITE+Early Science application (ANL+ORNL+NERSC)– NSF Blue Waters Petascale (PRAC)

• Need SciDAC-3– Significant software effort for next generation GPU-s &

heterogeneous environments– Participate in emerging ASCR Exascale initiatives

• INCITE + LQCD synergy:– ARRA GPU system well matched to current leadership

facilities

Dirac Inverter with Parallel GPU-s

Divide problem among nodes:

• Trade-offs – On-node vs off-

node bandwidths– Locality vs memory

bandwidth

• Efficient at large problem size per node

25

Interpretation of Meson Spectrum

Future: incorporate in bound-state model phenomenology

Future: probe with photon decays

Distillation: annihilation diagrams

• Two-meson creation op

• Correlator

arxiv:0905.2160

27

Operators and contractions

• New operator technique: Subduction – Derivative-based continuum ops -> lattice

irreps– Operators at rest or in-flight, mesons &

baryons

• Large basis of operators -> lots of contractions– E.g., nucleon Hg 49 ops up through 2 derivs– Order 10000 two-point correlators

• Feed all this to variational method

– Diagonalization: handles near degeneracies
