Force Atlas 2 is another algorithm in the set of force-directed algorithms and it attempts to resolve the shortcomings of the Force algorithm by making a balance between the quality of the final layout and the speed of the computation algorithm. Its performance for large networks is much better when compared to the Force Atlas layout algorithm.
The speedup that is achieved in Force Atlas 2 is primarily due to the replacement of direct sum simulation used in Force Atlas with Barnes-Hut simulation.
