LAMMPS
DESCRIPTION
LAMMPS, Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator, is a classical molecular dynamics (MD) code created for simulating molecular and atomic systems such as proteins in solution, liquid-crystals, polymers, zeolites, or simple Lenard-Jonesium. LAMMPS was originally developed as part of a 5-way DOE-sponsored CRADA collaboration between 3 industrial partners (Cray Research, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Dupont) and 2 DoE laboratories (Sandia and Livermore). The current version of LAMMPS includes following features:
- parallelism via a spatial-decomposition algorithm
- short-range pairwise Lennard-Jones and Coulombic interactions
- long-range Coulombic interactions via Ewald or PPPM (particle-mesh Ewald)
- harmonic molecular potentials (bond, angle, torsion, improper)
- class II (cross-term) molecular potentials
- NVE, NVT, NPT dynamics
- constraints on atoms or groups of atoms, including SHAKE
- rRESPA long-timescale integrator
- energy minimizer (Hessian-free truncated Newton method)
