<P>LAMMPS stands for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel

Simulator.

<P>LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics simulation code designed to
|
|
|
|
|
run efficiently on parallel computers. It was developed at Sandia
|
|
|
|
|
National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy facility, with
|
|
|
|
|
funding from the DOE. It is an open-source code, distributed freely
|

|
under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL).

<P>The developers of LAMMPS are <A HREF = "http://www.cs.sandia.gov/~sjplimp">Steve Plimpton</A>, Paul Crozier, and
|
2006-09-28 03:12:31 +08:00

Aidan Thompson who can be contacted at sjplimp,pscrozi,athomps at
|
2006-09-26 23:30:56 +08:00

|
|
|
|
you find errors or omissions in this manual or have suggestions for
|
2006-09-26 23:30:56 +08:00
|
|
|
useful information to add, please send an email to the developers so
|
|
|
|
|
we can improve the LAMMPS documentation.

<P>Once you are familiar with LAMMPS, you may want to bookmark <A HREF = "Section_commands.html#comm">this
|

page</A> at Section_commands.html#comm since
|
|
|
|
|
it gives quick access to documentation for all LAMMPS commands.

<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: If you browse the LAMMPS HTML doc pages from the
|
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS WWW site, then they describe the most current, fully-patched
|
|
|
|
|
version of LAMMPS, which has changed after the date listed above.
|
|
|
|
|
These additions are described on <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/bug.html">this
|
|
|
|
|
page</A>. If you browse the HTML doc
|
|
|
|
|
pages from the doc directory of the tarball you downloaded, then they
|
|
|
|
|
will describe that tarball, whether it was the original version for
|
|
|
|
|
the date listed above, or an upgraded tarball including features up to
|
|
|
|
|
the date you downloaded it, again as described on <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov/bug.html">this
|
2009-03-19 22:34:23 +08:00
|
|
|
page</A>. When the tarball unpacks, it
|
|
|
|
|
will contain the date that corresponds to which version you
|
|
|
|
|
downloaded. The PDF file described above is not regenerated for every
|
|
|
|
|
patch, so it always corresponds to the original version with the date
|
|
|
|
|
listed above.
