QCDUtils    [PDF]

This manual describes a set of utilities developed for Lattice QCD
computations. They are collectively called QCDUtils. They comprise a set of
Python programs each of them with a specific function: download gauge ensembles
from the public NERSC repository, convert between formats, split files by
time-slices, compile and run physics algorithms, generate visualizations in the
form of VTK files, convert the visualizations into images, perform bootstrap
analysis of results, fit the results of the analysis, and plot those results.
These tools implement the typical workflow of most Lattice QCD computations and
automate it by enforcing filename conventions: the output of one tool is read
by the next tool in the workflow. This manual is organized as a series of
autonomous recipes which can be combined together.
