The USQCD collaboration was founded in 1999, for the purpose of creating and utilizing software and dedicated hardware resources for lattice gauge theory calculations. It is funded by the Department of Energy through the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computation (SciDAC) program, and through the Office of Science's High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics programs. A majority of United States lattice gauge theorists are members.
