In this paper, we describe a new approach to implement
high-order treecode and FMM, which we call Pseudoparticle Multipole
Method (). In this method, we represent the multipole
expansion back again by particles. As a result, the translation
formulae for expansion coefficients are greatly simplified. Moreover,
with this new method we can use GRAPE to accelerate the evaluation of the multipole
expansion. Compated to the program on a workstation, the
treecode with GRAPE can achieve up to 100 times speedup.
