A Parallel Tree Code. Dubinski, J. 1(2):133–147.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
We describe a new implementation of a parallel N-body tree code. The code is load-balanced using the method of orthogonal recursive bisection to subdivide the N-body system into independent rectangular volumes each of which is mapped to a processor on a parallel computer. On the Cray T3D, the load balance is in the range of 70-90% depending on the problem size and number of processors. The code can handle simulations with \textbackslashtextgreater 10 million particles, roughly a factor of 10 greater than allowed on vectorized tree codes.
