Abstract: (Elsevier)
A variety of techniques for the inclusion of dynamical fermions in lattice gauge theory is examined. Three pseudo-fermionic techniques that have the characteristics desirable for an unquenched simulation of four-dimensional QCD are studied in detail. Langevin and Metropolis pseudo-fermionic techniques are implemented for a 64×64 lattice on the Distributed Array Processor and their relative merits examined both for free fermions and the lattice Schwinger model.
