We developed a PCI interface for GRAPE systems. GRAPE(GRAvity piPE) is a special-purpose computer for gravitational N-body simulations. A GRAPE system consists of GRAPE processor boards and a host computer. GRAPE processors perform the…

I review the Marseille GRAPE systems and the N-body simulations done with them. I first describe briefly the available hardware and software, their possibilities and their limitations. I then describe work done on interacting galaxies and…

We describe the two-dimensional TreePM method in this paper. The 2d TreePM code is an accurate and efficient technique to carry out large two-dimensional N-body simulations in cosmology. This hybrid code combines the 2d Barnes and Hut Tree…

The main performance bottleneck of gravitational N-body codes is the force calculation between two particles. We have succeeded in speeding up this pair-wise force calculation by factors between two and ten, depending on the code and the…

In this paper, we describe the architecture and performance of the GraCCA system, a Graphic-Card Cluster for Astrophysics simulations. It consists of 16 nodes, with each node equipped with 2 modern graphic cards, the NVIDIA GeForce 8800…

We have simulated, for the first time, the long term evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy using 51 billion particles on the Swiss Piz Daint supercomputer with our $N$-body gravitational tree-code Bonsai. Herein, we describe the scientific…

We review the recent optimizations of gravitational $N$-body kernels for running them on graphics processing units (GPUs), on single hosts and massive parallel platforms. For each of the two main $N$-body techniques, direct summation and…

In this contribution a broad overview of the methodologies of cosmological N-body simulations and a short introduction explaining the general idea behind such simulations is presented. After explaining how to set up the initial conditions…

A collisional $N$-body simulation using NBODY5 on a single CRAY YMP processor is followed well into the post-collapse regime. This is presently one of the largest particle numbers of all such models published, but some data for an even…

We discuss the performance of direct summation codes used in the simulation of astrophysical stellar systems on highly distributed architectures. These codes compute the gravitational interaction among stars in an exact way and have an…

A fast $N$-body code has been developed for simulating a stellar disk embedded in a live dark matter halo. In generating its Poisson solver, a self-consistent field (SCF) code which inherently possesses perfect scalability is incorporated…

We present a high-performance N-body code for self-gravitating collisional systems accelerated with the aid of a new SIMD instruction set extension of the x86 architecture: Advanced Vector eXtensions (AVX), an enhanced version of the…

We present a hybrid technique of N-body simulation to deal with collisionless stellar systems having an inhomogeneous global structure. We combine a treecode and a self-consistent field code such that each of the codes model a different…

Due to the variety and importance of applications of treecodes and FMM, the combination of algorithmic acceleration with hardware acceleration can have tremendous impact. Alas, programming these algorithms efficiently is no piece of cake.…

This posting announces public availability of the GALAXY software package developed by the author over the past 40 years. It is a highly efficient code for the evolution of (almost) isolated, collisionless stellar systems, both disk-like…

We present a code allowing to evolve three-dimensional self-gravitating collisionless systems with a large number of particles N >= 10^7. FLY (Fast Level-based N-bodY code) is a fully parallel code based on a tree algorithm. It adopts…

In astrophysics numerical star cluster simulations and hydrodynamical methods like SPH require computational performance in the petaflop range. The GRAPE family of ASIC-based accelerators improves the cost-performance ratio compared to…

We present a novel approach to accelerate astrophysical hydrodynamical simulations. In astrophysical many-body simulations, GRAPE (GRAvity piPE) system has been widely used by many researchers. However, in the GRAPE systems, its function is…

N-body simulations are essential tools in physical cosmology to understand the large-scale structure (LSS) formation of the Universe. Large-scale simulations with high resolution are important for exploring the substructure of universe and…

The reproducibility of experiments is one of the main principles of the scientific method. However, numerical N-body experiments, especially those of planetary systems, are currently not reproducible. In the most optimistic scenario, they…
