Dear List,
I have run a series of control runs varying the multipole order on
Gadget-4. Surprisingly to me, the CPU time significantly reduces with high
orders. For *MULTIPOLE_ORDER* = 2, 3, 4 I have a total CPU time of 22466.12,
14660.34, 12007.28 respectively. The better performance was due to a
significant reduction of the time spent in the tree (see the tables below).
Shouldn't one expect the computational cost to increase with high order
multipoles? I once again appreciate any clarification on this matter.
