We have performed fully self-consistent $N$-body simulations of star clusters near the Galactic center (GC). Such simulations have not been performed because it is difficult to perform fast and accurate simulations of such systems using…
We have implemented a parallel version of the Barnes-Hut 3-D N-body tree algorithm under PVM 3.2.5, adopting an SPMD paradigm. We parallelize the problem by decomposing the physical domain by means of the {\bf Orthogonal Recursive…
The N-body problem is a classic problem involving a system of N discrete bodies mutually interacting in a dynamical system. At any moment in time there are N*(N - 1)/2 such interactions occurring. This scaling as N^2 leads to computational…
We introduce a new code, ECOSMOG, to run N-body simulations for a wide class of modified gravity and dynamical dark energy theories. These theories generally have one or more new dynamical degrees of freedom, the dynamics of which are…

For problems in astrophysics, planetary science and beyond, numerical simulations are often limited to simulating fewer particles than in the real system. To model collisions, the simulated particles (aka superparticles) need to be inflated…
