N2 - The composition of nucleons has long been known to be sub-Atomic particles called quarks and gluons, which interact through the strong force and theoretically can be described by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Lattice QCD (LQCD), in which the continuous space-time is translated into grid points on a four-dimensional lattice and ab initio Monte Carlo simulations are performed, is by far the only model-independent method to study QCD with controllable errors. We report the successful application of a novel algorithm, All-Mode-Averaging, in the LQCD calculations of nucleon internal structure on the Gordon supercomputer our award of roughly 6 million service units through XSEDE. The application of AMA resulted in as much as a factor of 30 speedup in computational efficiency.
