Abstract
We present a new set of QCD codes in both message passing and data parallel versions. The message passing package used is PARMACS, although other packages may be used. Data parallel software is written in High Performance fortran, an emerging standard based on Fortran 90. Software engineering methods have been applied to a physics application to create thoroughly tested and documented codes for the next generation of massively parallel supercomputers.
