"No cutoff" is what we have now.  But now we also have problems with the
parallelization, as Axel pointed out.  The possibility of a cutoff was
brought
up in order to have a definitive criterion for the interaction range,
useful if we
want to see how many of the particles of a neighboring processor one needs
to keep track of.  How do we solve this original problem in the zero cutoff
case?  Or do I mix up something here?

Best,

Markus
