Sampling and Restraints. This code consists of two parts:
</P>
<UL><LI>A portable collective variable module library written and maintained by Giacomo Fiorin (ICMS, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA) and Jerome Henin (LISM, CNRS, Marseille, France). This code is located in the directory lib/colvars and needs to be compiled first.
<LI>The colvars fix and an interface layer, exchanges information between LAMMPS and the collective variable module.
</UL>
<P>See the doc page of <A HREF = "fix_colvars.html">fix colvars</A> for more details.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in
examples/USER/colvars
</P>
<P>This is a very new interface that does not yet support all
features in the module and will see future optimizations
and improvements. The colvars module library is also available
in NAMD has been thoroughly used and tested there. Bugs and
problems are likely due to the interface layers code.
Thus the current version of this package should be considered
beta quality.

<HR>
<H4>USER-CG-CMM package
</H4>
<P>This package implements 3 commands which can be used in a LAMMPS input
script:
</P>
<UL><LI>pair_style lj/sdk
<LI>pair_style lj/sdk/coul/long
<LI>angle_style sdk
</UL>
<P>These styles allow coarse grained MD simulations with the
parametrization of Shinoda, DeVane, Klein, Mol Sim, 33, 27 (2007)
(SDK), with extensions to simulate ionic liquids, electrolytes, lipids
and charged amino acids.
</P>
<P>See the doc pages for these commands for details.
</P>
<P>There are example scripts for using this package in
examples/USER/cg-cmm.
</P>
<P>This is the second generation implementation reducing the the clutter
of the previous version. For many systems with electrostatics, it will
be faster to use pair_style hybrid/overlay with lj/sdk and coul/long
instead of the combined lj/sdk/coul/long style. since the number of
charged atom types is usually small. For any other coulomb
interactions this is now required. To exploit this property, the use
of the kspace_style pppm/cg is recommended over regular pppm. For all
new styles, input file backward compatibility is provided. The old
implementation is still available through appending the /old
suffix. These will be discontinued and removed after the new
implementation has been fully validated.
</P>
<P>The current version of this package should be considered beta
quality. The CG potentials work correctly for "normal" situations, but
have not been testing with all kinds of potential parameters and
simulation systems.

styles, compute styles, and long-range Coulombics via PPPM for NVIDIA
