Vectorized cluster search

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the construction of clusters on a lattice can easily be vectorized, namely over each “generation” in a breadth first search. This applies directly to e.g. the single cluster variant of the Swendsen-Wang algorithm. On a Cray-YMP, total CPU time was reduced by a factor 3.5 – 7 in actual applications.
