<h1>5.OPT package</h1>
<p>The OPT package was developed by James Fischer (High Performance
Technologies), David Richie, and Vincent Natoli (Stone Ridge
Technologies). It contains a handful of pair styles whose compute()
methods were rewritten in C++ templated form to reduce the overhead
due to if tests and other conditional code.</p>
<p>Here is a quick overview of how to use the OPT package. More details
follow.</p>

<p><strong>Required hardware/software:</strong></p>
<p>None.</p>
<p><strong>Building LAMMPS with the OPT package:</strong></p>
<p>The lines above illustrate how to build LAMMPS with the OPT package in
two steps, using the “make” command. Or how to do it with one command
via the src/Make.py script, described in <span class="xref std std-ref">Section 2.4</span> of the manual. Type “Make.py -h” for
help.</p>
<p>Note that if you use an Intel compiler to build with the OPT package,
the CCFLAGS setting in your Makefile.machine must include “-restrict”.
The Make.py command will add this automatically.</p>
<p><strong>Run with the OPT package from the command line:</strong></p>
<p>As in the lines above, use the “-sf opt” <span class="xref std std-ref">command-line switch</span>, which will automatically append
“opt” to styles that support it.</p>
<p><strong>Or run with the OPT package by editing an input script:</strong></p>
<p>Use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><span class="doc">suffix opt</span></a> command, or you can explicitly add an
“opt” suffix to individual styles in your input script, e.g.</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pair_style</span> <span class="n">lj</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">cut</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">opt</span> <span class="mf">2.5</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>Speed-ups to expect:</strong></p>
<p>You should see a reduction in the “Pair time” value printed at the end
of a run. On most machines for reasonable problem sizes, it will be a
5 to 20% savings.</p>
<p><strong>Guidelines for best performance:</strong></p>
<p>Just try out an OPT pair style to see how it performs.</p>
