Deprecate libraries: CG-DWF SSE_WILSON_DSLASH #4

Closed bjoo closed 2 years ago

bjoo commented 11 years ago

Hi Folks, Should we consider deprecating sse_wilson_dslash and cg-dwf before making this source public?

CG-DWF is actually not strictly speaking ours, but belongs to MIT, but even they are not really using it anymore.

sse_wilson_dslash has essentially been superceded by cpp_wilson_dslash.

Thoughts? Best, B

Do I understand it correctly that cpp_wilson_dslash is somewhat superseded by QPhiX now? At least QPhiX seems to be forked from cpp_wilson_dslash.

The cpp_wilson_dslash is fairly generic and has superseded sse_wilson_dslash. The QPhiX is more specific to the Intel vector architectures. Yes, it forked from cpp_wilson_dslash because it gave a framework for the code devel. of the new code. Upshot, we keep both cpp_wilson_dslash & QPhiX.
