摘要
The architecture of a new class of computers, optimized for lattice QCD calculations, is described. An individual node is based on a single integrated circuit, containing a PowerPC 32-bit integer processor with a 1 Gflops 64-bit IEEE floating point unit, 4 Mbyte of memory, 8 Gbit/sec nearest-neighbor communications and additional control and diagnostic circuitry. The machine's name, QCDOC, derives from "QCD On a Chip".
