LAMMPS Documentation :c,h3

11 Feb 2013 version :c,h4

|
|
Version info: :h4
|
|
|
|
The LAMMPS "version" is the date when it was released, such as 1 May
|
|
2010. LAMMPS is updated continuously. Whenever we fix a bug or add a
|
|
feature, we release it immediately, and post a notice on "this page of
|
|
the WWW site"_bug. Each dated copy of LAMMPS contains all the
|
|
features and bug-fixes up to and including that version date. The
|
|
version date is printed to the screen and logfile every time you run
|
|
LAMMPS. It is also in the file src/version.h and in the LAMMPS
|
|
directory name created when you unpack a tarball, and at the top of
|
|
the first page of the manual (this page).
|
|
|
|
If you browse the HTML doc pages on the LAMMPS WWW site, they always
|
|
describe the most current version of LAMMPS. :ulb,l
|
|
|
|
If you browse the HTML doc pages included in your tarball, they
|
|
describe the version you have. :l
|
|
|
|
The "PDF file"_Manual.pdf on the WWW site or in the tarball is updated
|
|
about once per month. This is because it is large, and we don't want
|
|
it to be part of every patch. :l
|
|
|
|
There is also a "Developer.pdf"_Developer.pdf file in the doc
|
|
directory, which describes the internal structure and algorithms of
|
|
LAMMPS. :ule,l
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS stands for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel
|
|
Simulator.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
The primary developers of LAMMPS are "Steve Plimpton"_sjp, Aidan
|
|
Thompson, and Paul Crozier who can be contacted at
|
|
sjplimp,athomps,pscrozi at sandia.gov. The "LAMMPS WWW Site"_lws at
|
|
http://lammps.sandia.gov has more information about the code and its
|
|
uses.

|
|
The LAMMPS documentation is organized into the following sections. If
|
|
you find errors or omissions in this manual or have suggestions for
|
|
useful information to add, please send an email to the developers so
|
|
we can improve the LAMMPS documentation.
|
|
|
|
Once you are familiar with LAMMPS, you may want to bookmark "this
|
|
page"_Section_commands.html#comm at Section_commands.html#comm since
|
|
it gives quick access to documentation for all LAMMPS commands.
