We have developed a simulation code with the techniques which enhance both spatial and time resolution of the PM method for which the spatial resolution is restricted by the spacing of the structured mesh. The adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique subdivides the cells which satisfy the refinement criterion recursively. On the other hand, the technique of hierarchical time steps (HTS) changes the time step, from particle to particle, depending on the size of the cell in which particles reside. Our N-body code with these AMR and HTS is fully vectorized including the operations of the mass assignment.
