A major goal of the Sonderforschungsbereich 382 is the development of different particle methods for solving physical problems. Our recent work concentrated on object-oriented physical codes and runtime systems. The experiences made with these codes led to a parallel runtime system, based on an object-oriented message passing system. Based on this work we developped an object-oriented version of SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) simulation codes and an object-oriented prototype of a QMC simulation. Our goal is to provide a well documented and maintained library of reusable and extensible solutions for astrophysical simulation methods. This also should give a guideline on how to use object-oriented techniques for our simulation methods. For experimental runs, performance messurements (parallel efficiency, speedup) and to prove the portability of our libraries the access to several parallel machines with different parallel architectures is crucial.
