Abstract

We describe our implementation of the parallel hashed oct-tree (HOT) code, and in particular its application to neighbor finding in a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code. We also review the error bounds on the multipole approximations involved in treecodes, and extend them to include general cell-cell interactions. Performance of the program on a variety of problems (including gravity, SPH, vortex method and panel method) is measured on several parallel and sequential machines.
