where theta0 is the equilibrium value of the angle, and K is a
prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is included in K.
</P>
<P>
The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the

angle_coeff

command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the

<UL><LI>
K (energy/radian^2)
<LI>
theta0 (degrees)
</UL>
<P>
Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
internally; hence the units of K are in energy/radian^2.

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

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, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. 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

suffix
</A>
command in your input script.
</P>
<P>
See
<A
HREF =
"Section_accelerate.html"

of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

Restrictions:

none
</P>
<P>
This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package (which it is by default). See the
<A

"Section_start.html#start_3"
>
Making
LAMMPS

section for more info on packages.
