fix tune/kspace command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
fix ID group-ID tune/kspace N :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command :ulb,l
|
|
tune/kspace = style name of this fix command :l
|
|
N = invoke this fix every N steps :l
|
|
:ule
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
fix 2 all tune/kspace 100 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
This fix tests each kspace style (Ewald, PPPM, and MSM), and
|
|
automatically selects the fastest style to use for the remainder
|
|
of the run. If the fastest style is Ewald or PPPM, the fix also
|
|
adjusts the coulomb cutoff towards optimal speed. Future versions
|
|
of this fix will automatically select other kspace parameters
|
|
to use for maximum simulation speed. The kspace parameters may
|
|
include the style, cutoff, grid points in each direction, order,
|
|
Ewald parameter, MSM parallelization cut-point, MPI tasks to use, etc.
|
|
|
|
The rationale for this fix is to provide the user with
|
|
as-fast-as-possible simulations that include long-range electrostatics
|
|
(kspace) while meeting the user-prescribed accuracy requirement. A
|
|
simple heuristic could never capture the optimal combination of
|
|
parameters for every possible run-time scenario. But by performing
|
|
short tests of various kspace parameter sets, this fix allows
|
|
parameters to be tailored specifically to the user's machine, MPI
|
|
ranks, use of threading or accelerators, the simulated system, and the
|
|
simulation details. In addition, it is possible that parameters could
|
|
be evolved with the simulation on-the-fly, which is useful for systems
|
|
that are dynamically evolving (e.g. changes in box size/shape or
|
|
number of particles).
|
|
|
|
When this fix is invoked, LAMMPS will perform short timed tests of
|
|
various parameter sets to determine the optimal parameters. Tests are
|
|
performed on-the-fly, with a new test initialized every N steps. N should
|
|
be chosen large enough so that adequate CPU time lapses between tests,
|
|
thereby providing statistically significant timings. But N should not be
|
|
chosen to be so large that an unfortunate parameter set test takes an
|
|
inordinate amount of wall time to complete. An N of 100 for most problems
|
|
seems reasonable. Once an optimal parameter set is found, that set is
|
|
used for the remainder of the run.
|
|
|
|
This fix uses heristics to guide it's selection of parameter sets to test,
|
|
but the actual timed results will be used to decide which set to use in the
|
|
simulation.
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary to discard trajectories produced using sub-optimal
|
|
parameter sets, or a mix of various parameter sets, since the user-prescribed
|
|
accuracy will have been maintained throughout. However, some users may prefer
|
|
to use this fix only to discover the optimal parameter set for a given setup
|
|
that can then be used on subsequent production runs.
|
|
|
|
This fix starts with kspace parameters that are set by the user with the
|
|
"kspace_style"_kspace_style.html and "kspace_modify"_kspace_modify.html
|
|
commands. The prescribed accuracy will be maintained by this fix throughout
|
|
the simulation.
|
|
|
|
None of the "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html options are relevant to this
|
|
fix.
|
|
|
|
No parameter of this fix can be used with the {start/stop} keywords of
|
|
the "run"_run.html command. This fix is not invoked during "energy
|
|
minimization"_minimize.html.
|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This fix is part of the KSPACE package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was
|
|
built with that package. See the "Making
|
|
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
|
|
|
|
Do not set "neigh_modify once yes" or else this fix will never be
|
|
called. Reneighboring is required.
