Moreover, new developments in algorithms and physics research require frequent updates to existing software. These challenges have to be balanced against constantly changing personnel. At the same time, there is a wide range of applications for HISQ fermions in QCD studies. This situation encourages the development of software featuring a HISQ action that is flexible, high-performing, open source, easy to use, and easy to adapt. In this technical paper, we explain the design strategy, provide implementation details, list available algorithms and modules, and show key performance indicators for SIMULATeQCD, a simple multi-GPU lattice code for large-scale QCD calculations, mainly developed and used by the HotQCD collaboration. The code is publicly available on GitHub.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"SIMULATeQCD: A simple multi-GPU lattice code for QCD calculations","author":[{"id":"90492","first_name":"Lukas","last_name":"Mazur","full_name":"Mazur, Lukas","orcid":" 0000-0001-6304-7082"},{"full_name":"Bollweg, Dennis","last_name":"Bollweg","first_name":"Dennis"},{"full_name":"Clarke, David A.","last_name":"Clarke","first_name":"David A."},{"full_name":"Altenkort, Luis","last_name":"Altenkort","first_name":"Luis"},{"last_name":"Kaczmarek","full_name":"Kaczmarek, Olaf","first_name":"Olaf"},{"first_name":"Rasmus","full_name":"Larsen, Rasmus","last_name":"Larsen"},{"last_name":"Shu","full_name":"Shu, Hai-Tao","first_name":"Hai-Tao"},{"last_name":"Goswami","full_name":"Goswami, Jishnu","first_name":"Jishnu"},{"first_name":"Philipp","last_name":"Scior","full_name":"Scior, Philipp"},{"first_name":"Hauke","full_name":"Sandmeyer, Hauke","last_name":"Sandmeyer"},{"first_name":"Marius","full_name":"Neumann, Marius","last_name":"Neumann"},{"last_name":"Dick","full_name":"Dick, Henrik","first_name":"Henrik"},{"last_name":"Ali","full_name":"Ali, Sajid","first_name":"Sajid"},{"full_name":"Kim, Jangho","last_name":"Kim","first_name":"Jangho"},{"full_name":"Schmidt, Christian","last_name":"Schmidt","first_name":"Christian"},{"last_name":"Petreczky","full_name":"Petreczky, Peter","first_name":"Peter"},{"last_name":"Mukherjee","full_name":"Mukherjee, Swagato","first_name":"Swagato"}],"year":"2023","user_id":"90492","_id":"46120","status":"public","doi":"10.48550/ARXIV.2306.01098","date_created":"2023-07-24T10:55:25Z","department":[{"_id":"27"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Mazur, Lukas, Dennis Bollweg, David A.
