LAMMPS is written to use the ubiquitous `MPI (Message Passing Interface)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface>`_ library API
for distributed memory parallel computation. It is compatible with the
MPI standard version 2.x and later. LAMMPS can also be build into a
for distributed memory parallel computation. You need to have such a
library installed for building and running LAMMPS in parallel using a
domain decomposition parallelization. It is compatible with the MPI
standard version 2.x and later. LAMMPS can also be built into a
"serial" executable for use with a single processor using the bundled
MPI STUBS library.
Independent of the distributed memory MPI parallelization parts of
Independent of the distributed memory MPI parallelization, parts of
LAMMPS are also written with support for shared memory parallelization
using the OpenMP threading standard. A more detailed discussion of that
is below.
