I review recent machine trends and algorithmic developments for dynamical lattice QCD simulations with the HMC algorithm for Wilson-type fermions. The topics include the trend toward multi-core processors and general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing, and improvements on the quark determinant preconditioning, molecular dynamics integrator, and quark solvers. I also discuss the prospect on the use of these techniques on the forthcoming petaflops machines.
