A speedup of up to 1.9x is observed in comparison to state-of-the-art methods which rely on uniform grids. While our method focuses on maximizin g performance in fixed-radius SPH simulations, we show that it can also be used in scenarios where the particle support radius is not constant thank s to the adaptive nature of the octree acceleration structure.\n\nNeighbor hood search methods typically consist of an acceleration structure that pr unes the space of possible particle neighbor pairs, followed by direct dis tance comparisons between the remaining particle pairs. Previous works hav e focused on minimizing the number of comparisons. However, in an effort t o minimize the actual computation time, we find that distance comparisons exhibit very high throughput on modern CPUs. By permitting more comparison s than strictly necessary, the time spent on preparing and searching the a cceleration structure can be reduced, yielding a net positive speedup. The choice of an octree acceleration structure, instead of the uniform grid t ypically used in fixed-radius methods, ensures balanced computational task s. This benefits both parallelism and provides consistently high computati onal intensity for the distance comparisons. We present a detailed account of high-level considerations that, together with low-level decisions, ena ble high throughput for performance-critical parts of the algorithm.\n\nFi nally, we demonstrate the high performance of our algorithm on a number of large-scale fixed-radius SPH benchmarks and show in experiments with a su pport radius ratio up to 3 that our method is also effective in multi-reso lution SPH simulations.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, EXPERIENCE ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFo rmat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=papers_570&sess=sess15 3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
