AutoPas is a C++ library that provides different algorithms to efficiently solve N-body problems. For molecular dynamics simulations, such algorithms are especially important to quickly calculate large amounts of short-range forces. This thesis adapts the existing sliced traversal into a 3-dimensional slicing algorithm and evaluates its efficiency in comparison to the existing algorithm. The resulting analysis shows some increases in efficiency, but also some different shortcomings.
