|
|
<p>LAMMPS development began in the mid 1990s under a cooperative research
|
|
& development agreement (CRADA) between two DOE labs (Sandia and LLNL)
|
|
and 3 companies (Cray, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Dupont). The goal was
|
|
to develop a large-scale parallel classical MD code; the coding effort
|
|
was led by Steve Plimpton at Sandia.</p>
|
|
<p>After the CRADA ended, a final F77 version, LAMMPS 99, was
|
|
released. As development of LAMMPS continued at Sandia, its memory
|
|
management was converted to F90; a final F90 version was released as
|
|
LAMMPS 2001.</p>
|
|
<p>The current LAMMPS is a rewrite in C++ and was first publicly released
|
|
as an open source code in 2004. It includes many new features beyond
|
|
those in LAMMPS 99 or 2001. It also includes features from older
|
|
parallel MD codes written at Sandia, namely ParaDyn, Warp, and
|
|
GranFlow (see below).</p>
|
|
<p>In late 2006 we began merging new capabilities into LAMMPS that were
|
|
developed by Aidan Thompson at Sandia for his MD code GRASP, which has
|
|
a parallel framework similar to LAMMPS. Most notably, these have
|
|
included many-body potentials - Stillinger-Weber, Tersoff, ReaxFF -
|
|
and the associated charge-equilibration routines needed for ReaxFF.</p>
|
|
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="http://lammps.sandia.gov/history.html">History link</a> on the
|
|
LAMMPS WWW page gives a timeline of features added to the
|
|
C++ open-source version of LAMMPS over the last several years.</p>
|
|
<p>These older codes are available for download from the <a class="reference external" href="http://lammps.sandia.gov">LAMMPS WWW site</a>, except for Warp & GranFlow which were primarily used
|
|
internally. A brief listing of their features is given here.</p>
