We present algorithms for the construction, 2:1balancing and meshing large linear=0Aoctrees on supercomputers. Our scheme uses efficient computer graphics algorithms for surface detection,allowing us to represent complex geometries. An isogranular analysis demonstrates good scalability. Our implementation is able to execute the 2:1balancing operations over 3.4 billion octants in less than 10 seconds=0Aper 1.6 million octants per CPU core.
