Physic requirements: about the applications	Schifano S. Fabio - INFN

The QCD algorithms:

1. are intrinsically data-parallel: you apply the same function on each data

2. are automatically load balanced: the input data can be partitioned among the FUs

3. exploit first neighbour communication patterns: each FU need to exchange data with its neighbours

4. exploit a 3D-mesh distribution od data: data are partitioned on a 3D-mesh of FUs

5. exploit complex arithmetic
