Abstract :

Using special-purpose computers, MDGRAPE-3, has developed a fast vortex method. MDGRAPE-3, successor of MDGRAPE-2, has been applied to the same calculations and the improvement in speed was 1000 times faster when compared with the ordinary PC Xeon 5160(3.0GHz) and 25 times compared with MDGRAPE-2 for N=106 . In addition, performances and efficiency have been investigated carefully
