Under its SciDAC-1 and SciDAC-2 grants, the USQCD Collaboration developed software and algorithmic infrastructure for the numerical study of lattice gauge theories. This work was carried out jointly by high energy and nuclear physicists within USQCD, in collaboration with applied mathematicians and computer scientists. The software and its documentation is publicly available at the USQCD software web site http://www.usqcd.org/usqcd-software. The code has been widely adopted within the United States, and is used extensively abroad. It has been instrumental in our effective use of leadership class computers, and of the dedicated computers funded for USQCD through the LQCD Computing Project. The committees which review our hardware program on a yearly basis have consistently emphasized the importance of the work done under our SciDAC grants, and the need for their continuation.
