Software: Chroma

Description

The Chroma package provides a toolbox and executables to carry out calculation of lattice Quantum Chromodynamics LQCD. It is built on top of the QDP++ QCD Data Parallel Layer which provides an abstract data parallel view of the lattice and provides lattice wide types and expressions, using expression templates, to allow straightforward encoding of LQCD equations.
