Description
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory that describes the strong interactions among fundamental particles. Its highly complex dynamics cannot be solved analytically, and a predictive approach relies on numerical simulations in which space-time is discretized on a four-dimensional lattice and the theory is solved using Monte Carlo methods. These calculations are well suited for high-performance computing since the lattice can be decomposed into many subdomains processed in parallel on a computer.
In this talk I present recent results for the QCD Equation of State, which characterizes the thermodynamic properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature. I will focus on the computational strategy that allows these simulations, emphasizing algorithmic efficiency and scalability on modern parallel architectures.
