LAMMPS Intel(R) Package
--------------------------------

This package is based on the USER-OMP package and provides LAMMPS styles that:

1. include support for single and mixed precision in addition to double.
2. include modifications to support vectorization for key routines
3. include modifications to support offload to Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors

When using the suffix command with "intel", intel styles will be used if they exist; if they do not, and the USER-OMP package is installed and an omp version exists, that style will be used. For example, in the case the USER-OMP package is installed,

kspace_style     pppm/intel 1e-4

is equivalent to:

kspace_style     pppm/omp   1e-4

because no pppm style has been implemented for the Intel package.

In order to use offload to Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors, the flag -DLMP_INTEL_OFFLOAD should be set in the Makefile. Offload requires the use of Intel compilers.

The files in this package must be compiled with the Intel C++ compiler, i.e. icc/icpc.
