The connection between\u0000this approach to quark orbital angular momentum and approaches previously\u0000utilized in Lattice QCD calculations, via generalized transverse\u0000momentum-dependent parton distributions and via Ji's sum rule, is reviewed.\u0000This connection can be given in terms of Lorentz invariance and equation of\u0000motion relations. The calculation of the second Mellin moment of\u0000$widetilde{E}_{2T} $ proceeds via a finite-momentum proton matrix element of a\u0000quark bilocal operator with a straight-line gauge connection and separation in\u0000both the longitudinal and transverse directions. The dependence on the former\u0000component serves to extract the second Mellin moment, whereas the dependence on\u0000the latter component provides a transverse momentum cutoff for the matrix\u0000element. Furthermore, a derivative of the matrix element with respect to\u0000momentum transfer in the forward limit is required, which is obtained using a\u0000direct derivative method. The calculation utilizes a clover fermion ensemble at\u0000pion mass 317 MeV. The resulting quark orbital angular momentum is consistent\u0000with previous evaluations through alternative approaches, albeit with greater\u0000statistical uncertainty using a comparable number of samples.","PeriodicalId":501191,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - High Energy Physics - Lattice","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141255303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many\u0000high-performance computing (HPC) clusters use graphics processing units (GPUs)\u0000to offer more computational resources. Our solver program, DDalphaAMG,\u0000previously was unable to fully take advantage of GPUs to accelerate its\u0000computations. Making use of GPUs for DDalphaAMG is an ongoing development, and\u0000we will present some current progress herein. Through a detailed description of\u0000our development, this thesis should offer valuable insights into using GPUs to\u0000accelerate a memory-bound CPU implementation. We developed a storage scheme for multiple tuples, which allows much more\u0000efficient memory access on GPUs, given that the element at the same index is\u0000read from multiple tuples simultaneously. Still, our implementation of a\u0000discrete Dirac operator is memory-bound, and we only achieved improvements for\u0000large linear systems on few nodes at the JUWELS cluster. These improvements do\u0000not currently overcome additional introduced overheads. However, the results\u0000for the application of the Wilson-Dirac operator show a speedup of around 3 for\u0000large lattices. If the additional overheads can be eliminated in the future,\u0000GPUs could reduce the DDalphaAMG execution time significantly for large\u0000lattices. We also found that a previous publication on the GPU acceleration of\u0000DDalphaAMG, underrepresented the achieved speedup, because small lattices were\u0000used.
