Dissecting LAMMPS: An Open Development Environment for Particle System Simulation
Yuxing Peng, Computational Scientist, Chemistry, Research Computing Center
Tuesday, February 28, 2017, 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. | Kathleen A. Zar Room, John Crerar Library
The big success of Apple with its mobile products (iPhone, iPad, etc.) is attributed not only to its fascinating hardware, but more importantly, to the open app development atmosphere that attracts millions of programmers. Among several popular MD simulation codes, there is also one with a similar purpose: LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator), developed by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). One of the most important features of LAMMPS is its well-designed framework and friendly plug-in interfaces, which allows people outside the SNL group to add new features into it. LAMMPS provides abundant functions, many of which were contributed from the third-party developers. It is also an attractive platform to plenty of research groups that are focusing on developments of modeling and methodologies.

The lecturer will first introduce the structure, modules and plug-in interfaces of LAMMPS. Then, several tentative codes will be presented to demonstrate the procedures to extend LAMMPS functions. The attendees are also encouraged to bring their new ideas to an open discussion or in-person tutoring for the implementations. Finally, the instructor will introduce how to build LAMMPS as a module bound to or driven by other programs for wider purposes.
