The large ratio of DRAM to disk pricing suggests use of out-of-core techniques to overcome memory capacity limitations. We will describe a parallel, out-of-core treecode library, targeted at machines with independent secondary storage associated with each processor. Borrowing the space-filling curve techniques from our in-core library, and ``manually'' paging, results in excellent spatial and temporal locality and very good performance.}, comment = {Only published on CD-ROM} }
