<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Define a computation that calculates the potential energy of the
|
|
entire system of atoms. The specified group must be "all". See the
|
|
<A HREF = "compute_pe_atom.html">compute pe/atom</A> command if you want per-atom
|
|
energies. These per-atom values could be summed for a group of atoms
|
|
via the <A HREF = "compute_reduce.html">compute reduce</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The energy is calculated by the various pair, bond, etc potentials
|
|
defined for the simulation. If no extra keywords are listed, then the
|
|
potential energy is the sum of pair, bond, angle, dihedral, improper,
|
|
and kspace (long-range) energy. If any extra keywords are listed,
|
|
then only those components are summed to compute the potential energy.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The Kspace contribution requires 1 extra FFT each timestep the energy
|
|
is calculated, if using the PPPM solver via the <A HREF = "kspace_style.html">kspace_style
|
|
pppm</A> command. Thus it can increase the cost of the
|
|
PPPM calculation if it is needed on a large fraction of the simulation
|
|
timesteps.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Various fixes can contribute to the total potential energy of the
|
|
system. See the doc pages for <A HREF = "fix.html">individual fixes</A> for
|
|
details. The <I>thermo</I> option of the
|
|
<A HREF = "compute_modify.html">compute_modify</A> command determines whether these
|
|
contributions are added into the computed potential energy. If no
|
|
keywords are specified the default is <I>yes</I>. If any keywords are
|
|
specified, the default is <I>no</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A compute of this style with the ID of "thermo_pe" is created when
|
|
LAMMPS starts up, as if this command were in the input script:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>compute thermo_pe all pe
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>See the "thermo_style" command for more details.
|
|
</P>

<HR>
|
|
|
|
<P>Styles with a <I>cuda</I> suffix are functionally the same as the
|
|
corresponding style without the suffix. They have been optimized to
|
|
run faster, depending on your available hardware, as discussed in
|
|
<A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A> of the manual. The
|
|
accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same
|
|
results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA package. They are
|
|
only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_7">-suffix command-line
|
|
switch</A> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the <A HREF = "suffix.html">suffix</A> command in your input script.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>See <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A> of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

<P><B>Output info:</B>

</P>
|
|
<P>This compute calculates a global scalar (the potential energy). This
|
|
value can be used by any command that uses a global scalar value from
|
|
a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15">Section_howto
|
|
15</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
|
options.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The scalar value calculated by this compute is "extensive". The
|
|
scalar value will be in energy <A HREF = "units.html">units</A>.
