<P>
LAMMPS = Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator</P>
<P>
This is the documentation for the LAMMPS 2001 version, written in F90,
which has been superceded by more current versions. See the <A
HREF="http://www.cs.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/lammps.html">LAMMPS WWW
Site</A> for more information.
<P>
LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code designed for simulating
molecular and atomic systems on parallel computers using
spatial-decomposition techniques. It runs on any parallel platform that
supports F90 and the MPI message-passing library or on single-processor
workstations.</P>
<P>
LAMMPS 2001 is copyrighted code that is distributed freely as
open-source software under the GNU Public License (GPL). See the
LICENSE file or <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org">www.gnu.org</A> for more
details. Basically the GPL allows you as a user to use, modify, or
distribute LAMMPS however you wish, so long as any software you
distribute remains under the GPL.
<P>
Features of LAMMPS 2001 include:</P>
<UL>
<LI>
short-range pairwise Lennard-Jones and Coulombic interactions
<LI>
long-range Coulombic interactions via Ewald or PPPM (particle-mesh
Ewald)
<LI>
short-range harmonic bond potentials (bond, angle, torsion, improper)
<LI>
short-range class II (cross-term) molecular potentials
<LI>
NVE, NVT, NPT dynamics
<LI>
constraints on atoms or groups of atoms
<LI>
rRESPA long-timescale integrator
<LI>
energy minimizer (Hessian-free truncated Newton method)
</UL>
<P>
For users of LAMMPS 99, this version is written in F90 to take
advantage of dynamic memory allocation. This means the user does not
have to fiddle with parameter settings and re-compile the code so
often for different problems. This enhancment means there are new
rules for the ordering of commands in a LAMMPS input script, as well
as a few new commands to guide the memory allocator. Users should read
the beginning sections of the <A
HREF="input_commands.html">input_commands</A> file for an
explanation.</P>
<P>
More details about the code can be found <A
HREF="#_cch3_930958294">here</A>, in the HTML- or text-based
documentation. The LAMMPS Web page is at <A
HREF="http://www.cs.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/lammps.html">www.cs.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/lammps.html</A>
, which includes benchmark timings and a list of papers written using
LAMMPS results. They illustrate the kinds of scientific problems that
can be modeled with LAMMPS. These two papers describe the parallel
algorithms used in the code. Please cite these if you incorporate
LAMMPS results in your work. And if you send me citations for your
papers, I'll be pleased to add them to the LAMMPS WWW page.

LAMMPS was originally developed as part of a 5-way CRADA collaboration
between 3 industrial partners (Cray Research, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and
Dupont) and 2 DoE laboratories (Sandia National Laboratories and
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories).</P>
