The direct N-body kernel that I describe in my chapter is the key component of the fast multipole method (FMM). FMM is recently attracting a lot of attention because it has a unique combination of optimal arithmetic complexity of O(N), while having high arithmetic intensity, and an optimal communication complexity of O(log P), while having high asynchronicity. FMM can be used instead of fast Fourier transform or sparse matrix solvers in ...
