- What is the state-of-the-art in parallelizing the Barnes-Hut
- N-Body code? This is the code that uses the center of mass
- approximations for multiple bodies in a recursive subdivision
- style.
-
- I coded up this algorithm several years ago, but did a naive
- tree construction which limited the gains of the parallelism.
-
- Could people send me some references to more recent attempts at
- parallelizing this code, especially dealing with the tree construction
- and update?
-
- Thanks Very Much!
