摘要：We present an exploratory study of the thermodynamics of Nf 3 QCD with an improved staggered
fermions using the QCDOC supercomputer. We use a p4 action with MILC-style smeared
links (Fat 7). Some details of the implementation of the p4 action on QCDOC are discussed and
performance benchmarks are given. We show preliminary results for the quark mass dependence
of the pseudo-critical temperature Tc from several lattice volumes. We also make a comparison
between p4fat7 and the old p4 action.
