Lattice QCD is a very important tool for understanding the Standard Model of particle physics. It presents enormous computational challenges, both in carrying out simulations and in making sure they are as efficient as possible. This lecture explains why we need lattice QCD; describes how the UKQCD Collaboration sets out to overcome these computational challenges; and illustrates how GPUs are used here in Edinburgh.
