</CENTER>
<P>LAMMPS stands for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel
Simulator.
</P>
<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>
<P>The developers of LAMMPS are <A HREF = "http://www.cs.sandia.gov/~sjplimp">Steve Plimpton</A>, Paul Crozier, and
Aidan Thompson who can be contacted at sjplimp,pscrozi,athomps at
sandia.gov. The <A HREF = "http://lammps.sandia.gov">LAMMPS WWW Site</A> at http://lammps.sandia.gov has
more information about the code and its uses.
</P>
<HR>
<P>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.
</P>
<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.
