POST10.6 - 1kDiscs_ptree_10p_rendered_xaxis

N-Body simulation, written by undergraduate software engineering class at Penn State.

This is a POST-COMPUTATION rendered video of the parallel Treecode algorithm on ten computers. Two discs lie on the xy plane and are given opposing initial velocities and opposing initial rotations. There is also a large point mass at the origin. Gravity eventually overtakes the discs and folds them together.

This is a view down the x-axis of the simulation.

Run Info:
1,000 Particles
Rotating Discs
Treecode Algorithm - O(N log(N))
1 graphics/storage host cpu
9 computation slave cpu
