We present an adaptive multigrid solver for application to the non-Hermitian Wilson-Dirac system of QCD. The key components leading success our proposed algorithm are use projection onto coarse grids that preserves near null space matrix together with a simplified form correction based on so-called γ5-Hermitian symmetry Dirac operator. demonstrate nearly eliminates critical slowing down in chiral limit and it has weak dependence lattice volume.
