pair_style lj96/cut command :h3
pair_style lj96/cut/gpu command :h3
[Syntax:]
pair_style style cutoff :pre
style = {lj96/cut} or {lj96/cut/gpu}
cutoff = global cutoff for lj96/cut interactions (distance units) :ul
[Examples:]
pair_style lj96/cut 2.5
pair_style lj96/cut/gpu 2.5
pair_coeff * * 1.0 1.0 4.0
pair_coeff 1 1 1.0 1.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {lj96/cut} style compute a 9/6 Lennard-Jones potential, instead
of the standard 12/6 potential, given by
:c,image(Eqs/pair_lj96.jpg)
Rc is the cutoff.
Style {lj96/cut/gpu} is a GPU-enabled version of style {lj96/cut}.
See more details below.
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands, or by mixing as described below:
epsilon (energy units)
sigma (distance units)
cutoff (distance units) :ul
The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global LJ
cutoff specified in the pair_style command is used.
:line
The {lj96/cut/gpu} style is identical to the {lj96/cut} style, except that
each processor off-loads its pairwise calculations to a
GPU chip. Depending on the hardware available on your system this can provide a
speed-up. See the "Running on GPUs"_Section_start.html#2_8 section of
the manual for more details about hardware and software requirements
for using GPUs.
More details about these settings and various possible hardware
configuration are in "this section"_Section_start.html#2_8 of the
manual.
Additional requirements in your input script to run with the {lj96/cut/gpu}
style are as follows:
The "newton pair"_newton.html setting must be {off} and
"fix gpu"_fix_gpu.html must be used. The fix controls the
essential GPU selection and initialization steps
:line
[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
and cutoff distance for all of the lj/cut pair styles can be mixed.
The default mix value is {geometric}. See the "pair_modify" command
for details.
This pair style supports the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.
The "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html table option is not relevant
for this pair style.
This pair style supports the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html tail
option for adding a long-range tail correction to the energy and
pressure of the pair interaction.
This pair style writes its information to "binary restart
files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
This pair style supports the use of the {inner}, {middle}, and {outer}
keywords of the "run_style respa"_run_style.html command, meaning the
pairwise forces can be partitioned by distance at different levels of
the rRESPA hierarchy. See the "run_style"_run_style.html command for
details.

[Restrictions:]
The {lj96/cut/gpu} style is part of the "gpu" package. It
is only enabled if LAMMPS is built with this packages. See the
"Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#2_3 section for more info.
