In this paper, we describe an implementation of the Barnes-Hut treecode on a cluster of PCs (Beowulf-class machines) equipped with GRAPE hardware. Our implementation is designed to achieve good performance on clusters of GRAPE with a relatively slow network, such as the standard Gigabit Ethernet. With 12 processors, the speedup over single-processor code reaches around 10. Our code is available on the web.
