Authors of QLA ============== The QLA API was designed as a part of the National Computational Infrastructure for Lattice Gauge Theory (http://www.lqcd.org/). Many members of the Software Committee contributed to the design. The main part of the library, test suite and documentation was written by Carleton Detar (detar at physics.utah.edu). The conversion to use autoconf and automake along with many other modifications and the inclusion of the optimized routines was done by James Osborn (josborn at physics.bu.edu). Joy Khoriaty (khoriaty at lns.mit.edu) added the "--enable-backend-test-cmd" configure option.
