      The purpose of this paper is to propose a new method of a memory saving interpolation algorithm for particle-in-cell (PIC) codes on a Cray X-MP and to compare it with existing methods. The basis for a comparison is provided by an astrophysical tridimensional simulation where interpolation calculates the mass density in the grid points starting from the new positions of the particles. It is also indicated that the method can be used for multitasking using the ordering of grid cells.
