Abstract
This chapter illustrates some of the key concepts behind optimizing the so-called Wilson-Dslash kernel, which is a frequently used component in lattice QCD calculations. Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong nuclear force responsible for binding quarks and gluons together into nuclei. It is one of the fundamental forces making up the Standard Model of particle interactions. Lattice QCD is a version of the theory suitable for numerical computation, which is used heavily in theoretical calculation for nuclear and high energy particle physics.
