In this proceedings we discuss the motivation, implementation details, and performance of a new physics code base called Grid. It is intended to be more performant, more general, but similar in spirit to QDP++\cite{QDP}. Our approach is to engineer the basic type system to be consistently fast, rather than bolt on a few optimised routines, and we are attempt to write all our optimised routines directly in the Grid framework. It is hoped this will deliver best known practice performance across the next generation of supercomputers, which will provide programming challenges to traditional scalar codes. We illustrate the programming patterns used to implement our goals, and advances in productivity that have been enabled by using new features in C++11.

  1. Lattice studies of chimera baryons in Sp(4) gauge theory

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Lattice calculations yield the low-lying spectrum of chimera baryons in Sp(4) gauge theory, first in the quenched approximation with continuum and massless limits, then with dynamical fermions via spectral density analysis.

  2. $F_K/F_\pi$ as a precision test of a new four flavor Domain Wall Fermion action

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    New four-flavor smeared Möbius Domain Wall Fermion ensembles yield F_K/F_pi = 1.1962(34) as a precision test for inexpensive chiral fermion calculations in lattice QCD.

  3. Inclusive semileptonic $D_s\to X_s\ell\bar\nu$ decays from lattice QCD: continuum and chiral extrapolation

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice QCD yields the Ds to Xs l nu inclusive decay rate in agreement with experiment after full chiral and continuum extrapolations, with few-percent total uncertainty.

  4. Quark Number Susceptibilities and Conserved Charge Fluctuations in $(2+1)$-flavor QCD with M\"obius domain-wall fermions (MDWF)

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find that conserved charge fluctuations in (2+1)-flavor QCD match hadron resonance gas predictions below the pseudocritical temperature and rise toward free-quark l...
