We investigate a variant of hypercubic gauge link smearing where the SU(3)projection is replaced with a normalization to the corresponding unitary group.This smearing is differentiable and thus suitable for use in dynamical fermionsimulations using molecular dynamics type algorithms. We show that thissmearing is as efficient as projected hypercubic smearing in removingultraviolet noise from the gauge fields. We test the normalized hypercubicsmearing in dynamical improved (clover) Wilson and valence overlap simulations.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX
