[LatticeNews] General release of DWF configurations

[Chris Maynard]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce the general availability in ILDG format of
the first large-scale, 2+1 flavour, dynamical domain wall fermion lattices
that are being generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations using resources
provided by PPARC, the RIKEN BNL Research Center and the US Department of
Energy.  They are released with complete QCDml metadata and so be accessed
from ILDG services using a local grid-client. 

They have previously been made available in NERSC format at:

        http://lattices.qcdoc.bnl.gov/

They include all of the 16^3 x 32 lattice ensembles with L_s = 16 generated
to date.  They were generated with an Iwasaki gauge action with \beta = 2.13
corresponding to an inverse lattice spacing of 1.6 GeV.  Dynamical quarks as
light as 30% of the strange quark have been used. Our collaborations are
pleased to make these configurations available for unrestricted use.
However, we ask that all results obtained using these ensembles acknowledge
their use and reference the following paper:

2+1 flavor domain wall QCD on a (2 fm)*83 lattice: Light meson spectroscopy
with L(s) = 16.
