<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

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
|
|
|
|
