Authors of QOPQDP ================= The QOP 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. Most of the libraries and example programs were written by James Osborn (josborn at physics.bu.edu). Ludmila Levkova contributed the Symanzik 1-loop gauge force and FNMAT version of the asqtad force. Carleton Detar also contributed to the FNMAT version of the asqtad force.
