<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Define a computation that sums the results of one or more per-atom
computes across all atoms in the group to yield a global scalar or
vector quantity. For example, the forces on a group of atoms could be
summed to yield a net force on the group. The resulting value(s) can
be accessed by any command that uses global computes, e.g. the <A HREF = "therml_style.html">thermo
custom</A> command or <A HREF = "fix_ave_time.html">fix ave/time</A>
command or by a <A HREF = "variable.html">variable</A> command.
</P>
<P>Unlike the "compute sum/atom" command, the result of this is not a
per-atom quantity, but a global scalar or vector. If the other
computes each generate a scalar value per atom, this compute will
generate a single scalar value. If the other computes each generate a
vector of values per atom, this compute will generate a vector of
values. In the latter case, all the other computes must generate
vectors of the same size.
