Description

We developed PyQUDA, a Python wrapper for QUDA written in Cython, designed to facilitate lattice QCD calculations using the Python programming language. PyQUDA leverages the optimized linear algebra capabilities of NumPy/CuPy/PyTorch, along with the highly optimized lattice QCD operations provided by QUDA to accelerate research. This integration simplifies the process of writing calculation codes, enabling researchers to build more complex Python packages like EasyDistillation for specific physics objectives. PyQUDA supports a range of lattice QCD operations, including hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) with N-flavor clover/HISQ fermions and inversion for the Wilson/clover/HISQ fermion action with the multigrid solver. It also includes utility functions for reading lattice QCD data stored in Chroma, MILC, and χQCD formats. Type hints are supported by stub files and multi-GPU support is provided through mpi4py.
