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.
