An alternative method to the existing particle or domain decomposition
for parallel many-body numerical simulation is presented, named here
the force-decomposition method. A square block of interaction forces
of size $(N/ p)(N/ p)$ ($N$ is number of particles,
$p$ is number of processors) is assigned to each processor. A minimization
of the communication among processors is also achieved. Extensive
applications indicate the slight superiority of the method over the
spatial decomposition method for large $N$.
