+dot indicates a dot product.  This is computed in parallel for each
+sub-domain and then summed over all parallel processes. Thus N'
+necessarily includes atoms from neighboring sub-domains (so-called ghost
+atoms) and the position and force vectors of ghost atoms are thus

 A symmetric pressure tensor, stored as a 6-element vector, is also
 calculated by this compute.  The 6 components of the vector are
