dc.descriptionWe present an algorithm for parallelising the TreePM code. We use both functional and domain decompositions. Functional decomposition is used to separate the computation of long range and short range forces, as well as the task of coordinating communications between different components. Short range force calculation is time consuming and benefits from the use of domain decomposition. We have tested the code on a Linux cluster. We get a speedup of 31.4 for 128^3 particle simulation on 33 processors; speedup being better for larger simulations. The time taken for one time step per particle is 6.5 micro seconds for a 256^3 particle simulation on 65 processors, thus a simulation that runs for 4000 time steps takes 5 days on this cluster.
