< p > If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read
by the < a class = "reference internal" href = "read_data.html" > < em > read_data< / em > < / a > command) are ordered i,j,k,l then

< p > The “ ring” improper style implements the improper potential introduced
by Destree et al., in Equation (9) of < a class = "reference internal" href = "#destree" > < span > (Destree)< / span > < / a > . This
2012-05-23 00:09:28 +08:00
potential does not affect small amplitude vibrations but is used in an
ad-hoc way to prevent the onset of accidentially large amplitude
fluctuations leading to the occurrence of a planar conformation of the
three bonds i-j, j-k and j-l, an intermediate conformation toward the
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
chiral inversion of a methine carbon. In the “ Impropers” section of
2012-05-23 00:09:28 +08:00

functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
hardware, as discussed in < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_accelerate.html" > < em > Section_accelerate< / em > < / a >
2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
issues.< / p >
< p > These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_start.html#start-3" > < span > Making LAMMPS< / span > < / a > section for more info.< / p >
< p > You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_start.html#start-7" > < span > -suffix command-line switch< / span > < / a > when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the < a class = "reference internal" href = "suffix.html" > < em > suffix< / em > < / a > command in your input script.< / p >
< p > See < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_accelerate.html" > < em > Section_accelerate< / em > < / a > of the manual for
