Before building LAMMPS, you must build the CSlib library in
``lib/message``\ . You can build the CSlib library manually if
you prefer; follow the instructions in ``lib/message/README``\ .
You can also do it in one step from the ``lammps/src`` dir, using
a command like these, which simply invoke the
``lib/message/Install.py`` script with the specified args:
.. code-block:: bash
$ make lib-message # print help message
$ make lib-message args="-m -z" # build with MPI and socket (ZMQ) support
$ make lib-message args="-s" # build as serial lib with no ZMQ support
The build should produce two files: ``lib/message/cslib/src/libmessage.a``
and ``lib/message/Makefile.lammps``. The latter is copied from an
existing ``Makefile.lammps.*`` and has settings to link with the ZeroMQ
library if requested in the build.

LAMMPS is developed and tested primarily on Linux machines. The vast
majority of HPC clusters and supercomputers today run on Linux as well.
While portability to other platforms is desired, it is not always achieved.
The LAMMPS developers are dependent on LAMMPS users giving feedback and
providing assistance in resolving portability issues. This is particularly
true for compiling LAMMPS on Windows, since this platform has significant
differences in some low-level functionality.
While portability to other platforms is desired, it is not always
achieved. That is sometimes due to non-portable code in LAMMPS itself,
but more often due to portability limitations of external libraries and
tools required to build a specific feature or package. The LAMMPS
developers are dependent on LAMMPS users giving feedback and providing
assistance in resolving portability issues. This is particularly true
for compiling LAMMPS on Windows, since this platform has significant
differences in some low-level functionality. As of LAMMPS version 14
December 2021, large parts of LAMMPS can be compiled natively with the
Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers. This is largely facilitated by using
the :doc:`Developer_platform` in the ``platform`` namespace.
Before trying to build LAMMPS on Windows yourself, please consider the

Using a GNU GCC ported to Windows

to work in the past is to install a bash shell, unix shell utilities,
perl, GNU make, and a GNU compiler ported to Windows. The Cygwin
package provides a unix/linux interface to low-level Windows functions,

Following the integration of the :doc:`platform namespace

to be compiled on Windows using Visual Studio has been significantly
improved. This has been tested with Visual Studio 2019 (aka version
16). Not all features and packages in LAMMPS are currently supported
out of the box, but a preset ``cmake/presets/windows.cmake`` is provided
that contains the packages that have been compiled successfully. You
must use the CMake based build procedure, and either use the integrated
CMake support of Visual Studio or use an external CMake installation to
create build files for the Visual Studio build system. Please note that
on launching Visual Studio it will scan the directory tree and likely
miss the correct master ``CMakeLists.txt``. Try to open the

starting point. It is also possible to configure and compile LAMMPS

Code design
-----------
This section explains some of the code design choices in LAMMPS with
the goal of helping developers write new code similar to the existing
code. Please see the section on :doc:`Requirements for contributed
code <Modify_style>` for more specific recommendations and guidelines.
While that section is organized more in the form of a checklist for
code contributors, the focus here is on overall code design strategy,
choices made between possible alternatives, and discussing some
relevant C++ programming language constructs.
Historically, the basic design philosophy of the LAMMPS C++ code was a
"C with classes" style. The motivation was to make it easy to modify
LAMMPS for people without significant training in C++ programming.
Data structures and code constructs were used that resemble the
previous implementation(s) in Fortran. A contributing factor to this
choice also was that at the time, C++ compilers were often not mature
and some of the advanced features contained bugs or did not function
as the standard required. There were also disagreements between
compiler vendors as to how to interpret the C++ standard documents.
However, C++ compilers have now advanced significantly. In 2020 we
decided to to require the C++11 standard as the minimum C++ language
standard for LAMMPS. Since then we have begun to also replace some of
the C-style constructs with equivalent C++ functionality, either from
the C++ standard library or as custom classes or functions, in order
to improve readability of the code and to increase code reuse through
abstraction of commonly used functionality.
.. note::
Please note that as of spring 2022 there is still a sizable chunk
of legacy code in LAMMPS that has not yet been refactored to
reflect these style conventions in full. LAMMPS has a large code
base and many different contributors and there also is a hierarchy
of precedence in which the code is adapted. Highest priority has
been the code in the ``src`` folder, followed by code in packages
in order of their popularity and complexity (simpler code is
adapted sooner), followed by code in the ``lib`` folder. Source
code that is downloaded from external packages or libraries during
compilation is not subject to the conventions discussed here.
Object oriented code
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LAMMPS is designed to be an object oriented code. Each simulation is
represented by an instance of the LAMMPS class. When running in
parallel each MPI process creates such an instance. This can be seen
in the ``main.cpp`` file where the core steps of running a LAMMPS
simulation are the following 3 lines of code:
.. code-block:: C++
LAMMPS *lammps = new LAMMPS(argc, argv, lammps_comm);
lammps->input->file();
delete lammps;
The first line creates a LAMMPS class instance and passes the command
line arguments and the global communicator to its constructor. The
second line triggers the LAMMPS instance to process the input (either
from standard input or a provided input file) until the simulation
ends. The third line deletes the LAMMPS instance. The remainder of
the main.cpp file has code for error handling, MPI configuration, and
other special features.
The basic LAMMPS class hierarchy which is created by the LAMMPS class
constructor is shown in :ref:`class-topology`. When input commands
are processed, additional class instances are created, or deleted, or
replaced. Likewise specific member functions of specific classes are
called to trigger actions such creating atoms, computing forces,
computing properties, time-propagating the system, or writing output.
Compositing and Inheritance
===========================
LAMMPS makes extensive use of the object oriented programming (OOP)
principles of *compositing* and *inheritance*. Classes like the
``LAMMPS`` class are a **composite** containing pointers to instances
of other classes like ``Atom``, ``Comm``, ``Force``, ``Neighbor``,
``Modify``, and so on. Each of these classes implement certain
functionality by storing and manipulating data related to the
simulation and providing member functions that trigger certain
actions. Some of those classes like ``Force`` are themselves
composites, containing instances of classes describing different force
interactions. Similarly the ``Modify`` class contains a list of
``Fix`` and ``Compute`` classes. If the input commands that
correspond to these classes include the word *style*, then LAMMPS
stores only a single instance of that class. E.g. *atom_style*,
*comm_style*, *pair_style*, *bond_style*. It the input command does
not include the word *style*, there can be many instances of that
class defined. E.g. *region*, *fix*, *compute*, *dump*.
**Inheritance** enables creation of *derived* classes that can share
common functionality in their base class while providing a consistent
interface. The derived classes replace (dummy or pure) functions in
the base class. The higher level classes can then call those methods
of the instantiated classes without having to know which specific
derived class variant was instantiated. In LAMMPS these derived
classes are often referred to as "styles", e.g. pair styles, fix
styles, atom styles and so on.
This is the origin of the flexibility of LAMMPS. For example pair
styles implement a variety of different non-bonded interatomic
potentials functions. All details for the implementation of a
potential are stored and executed in a single class.
As mentioned above, there can be multiple instances of classes derived
from the ``Fix`` or ``Compute`` base classes. They represent a
different facet of LAMMPS flexibility as they provide methods which
can be called at different points in time within a timestep, as
explained in `Developer_flow`. This allows the input script to tailor
how a specific simulation is run, what diagnostic computations are
performed, and how the output of those computations is further
processed or output.
Additional code sharing is possible by creating derived classes from the
derived classes (e.g., to implement an accelerated version of a pair
style) where only a subset of the derived class methods are replaced
with accelerated versions.
Polymorphism
============
Polymorphism and dynamic dispatch are another OOP feature that play an
important role in how LAMMPS selects what code to execute. In a
nutshell, this is a mechanism where the decision of which member
function to call from a class is determined at runtime and not when
the code is compiled. To enable it, the function has to be declared
as ``virtual`` and all corresponding functions in derived classes
should use the ``override`` property. Below is a brief example.
.. code-block:: c++
class Base {
public:
virtual ~Base() = default;
void call();
void normal();
virtual void poly();
};
void Base::call() {
normal();
poly();
}
class Derived : public Base {
public:
~Derived() override = default;
void normal();
void poly() override;
};
// [....]
Base *base1 = new Base();
Base *base2 = new Derived();
base1->call();
base2->call();
The difference in behavior of the ``normal()`` and the ``poly()`` member
functions is which of the two member functions is called when executing
`base1->call()` versus `base2->call()`. Without polymorphism, a
function within the base class can only call member functions within the
same scope, that is ``Base::call()`` will always call
``Base::normal()``. But for the `base2->call()` case the call of the
virtual member function will be dispatched to ``Derived::poly()``
instead. This mechanism means that functions are called within the
scope of the class type that was used to *create* the class instance are
invoked; even if they are assigned to a pointer using the type of a base
class. This is the desired behavior and this way LAMMPS can even use
styles that are loaded at runtime from a shared object file with the
:doc:`plugin command <plugin>`.
A special case of virtual functions are so-called pure functions. These
are virtual functions that are initialized to 0 in the class declaration
(see example below).
.. code-block:: c++
class Base {
public:
virtual void pure() = 0;
};
This has the effect that an instance of the base class cannot be
created and that derived classes **must** implement these functions.
Many of the functions listed with the various class styles in the
section :doc:`Modify` are pure functions. The motivation for this is
to define the interface or API of the functions but defer their
implementation to the derived classes.
However, there are downsides to this. For example, calls to virtual
functions from within a constructor, will not be in the scope of the
derived class and thus it is good practice to either avoid calling them
or to provide an explicit scope such as ``Base::poly()`` or
``Derived::poly()``. Furthermore, any destructors in classes containing
virtual functions should be declared virtual too, so they will be
processed in the expected order before types are removed from dynamic
dispatch.
.. admonition:: Important Notes
In order to be able to detect incompatibilities at compile time and
to avoid unexpected behavior, it is crucial that all member functions
that are intended to replace a virtual or pure function use the
``override`` property keyword. For the same reason, the use of
overloads or default arguments for virtual functions should be
avoided as they lead to confusion over which function is supposed to
override which and which arguments need to be declared.
Style Factories
===============
In order to create class instances for different styles, LAMMPS often
uses a programming pattern called `Factory`. Those are functions that
create an instance of a specific derived class, say ``PairLJCut`` and
return a pointer to the type of the common base class of that style,
``Pair`` in this case. To associate the factory function with the
style keyword, an ``std::map`` class is used with function pointers
indexed by their keyword (for example "lj/cut" for ``PairLJCut`` and
"morse" for ``PairMorse``). A couple of typedefs help keep the code
readable and a template function is used to implement the actual
factory functions for the individual classes. Below is an example
of such a factory function from the ``Force`` class as declared in
``force.h`` and implemented in ``force.cpp``. The file ``style_pair.h``
is generated during compilation and includes all main header files
(i.e. those starting with ``pair_``) of pair styles and then the
macro ``PairStyle()`` will associate the style name "lj/cut"
with a factory function creating an instance of the ``PairLJCut``
class.
.. code-block:: C++
// from force.h
typedef Pair *(*PairCreator)(LAMMPS *);
typedef std::map<std::string, PairCreator> PairCreatorMap;
PairCreatorMap *pair_map;
// from force.cpp
template <typename S, typename T> static S *style_creator(LAMMPS *lmp)
{
return new T(lmp);
}
// [...]
pair_map = new PairCreatorMap();
#define PAIR_CLASS
#define PairStyle(key, Class) (*pair_map)[#key] = &style_creator<Pair, Class>;
#include "style_pair.h"
#undef PairStyle
#undef PAIR_CLASS
// from pair_lj_cut.h
#ifdef PAIR_CLASS
PairStyle(lj/cut,PairLJCut);
#else
// [...]
Similar code constructs are present in other files like ``modify.cpp`` and
``modify.h`` or ``neighbor.cpp`` and ``neighbor.h``. Those contain
similar macros and include ``style_*.h`` files for creating class instances
of styles they manage.
I/O and output formatting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
C-style stdio versus C++ style iostreams
========================================
LAMMPS uses the "stdio" library of the standard C library for reading
from and writing to files and console instead of C++ "iostreams".
This is mainly motivated by better performance, better control over
formatting, and less effort to achieve specific formatting.
Since mixing "stdio" and "iostreams" can lead to unexpected
behavior. use of the latter is strongly discouraged. Also output to
the screen should not use the predefined ``stdout`` FILE pointer, but
rather the ``screen`` and ``logfile`` FILE pointers managed by the
LAMMPS class. Furthermore, output should generally only be done by
MPI rank 0 (``comm->me == 0``). Output that is sent to both
``screen`` and ``logfile`` should use the :cpp:func:`utils::logmesg()
convenience function <LAMMPS_NS::utils::logmesg>`.
We also discourage the use of stringstreams because the bundled {fmt}
library and the customized tokenizer classes can provide the same
functionality in a cleaner way with better performance. This also
helps maintain a consistent programming syntax with code from many
different contributors.
Formatting with the {fmt} library
===================================
The LAMMPS source code includes a copy of the `{fmt} library
<https://fmt.dev>`_ which is preferred over formatting with the
"printf()" family of functions. The primary reason is that it allows
a typesafe default format for any type of supported data. This is
particularly useful for formatting integers of a given size (32-bit or
64-bit) which may require different format strings depending on
compile time settings or compilers/operating systems. Furthermore,
{fmt} gives better performance, has more functionality, a familiar
formatting syntax that has similarities to ``format()`` in Python, and
provides a facility that can be used to integrate format strings and a
variable number of arguments into custom functions in a much simpler
way than the varargs mechanism of the C library. Finally, {fmt} has
been included into the C++20 language standard, so changes to adopt it
are future-proof.
Formatted strings are frequently created by calling the
``fmt::format()`` function which will return a string as a
``std::string`` class instance. In contrast to the ``%`` placeholder
in ``printf()``, the {fmt} library uses ``{}`` to embed format
descriptors. In the simplest case, no additional characters are
needed as {fmt} will choose the default format based on the data type
of the argument. Otherwise the ``fmt::print()`` function may be
used instead of ``printf()`` or ``fprintf()``. In addition, several
LAMMPS output functions, that originally accepted a single string as
argument have been overloaded to accept a format string with optional
arguments as well (e.g., ``Error::all()``, ``Error::one()``,
``utils::logmesg()``).
Summary of the {fmt} format syntax
==================================
The syntax of the format string is "{[<argument id>][:<format spec>]}",
where either the argument id or the format spec (separated by a colon
':') is optional. The argument id is usually a number starting from 0
that is the index to the arguments following the format string. By
default these are assigned in order (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.). The most
common case for using argument id would be to use the same argument in
multiple places in the format string without having to provide it as an
argument multiple times. In LAMMPS the argument id is rarely used.
More common is the use of a format specifier, which starts with a colon.
This may optionally be followed by a fill character (default is ' '). If
provided, the fill character **must** be followed by an alignment
character ('<', '^', '>' for left, centered, or right alignment
(default)). The alignment character may be used without a fill
character. The next important format parameter would be the minimum
width, which may be followed by a dot '.' and a precision for floating
point numbers. The final character in the format string would be an
indicator for the "presentation", i.e. 'd' for decimal presentation of
integers, 'x' for hexadecimal, 'o' for octal, 'c' for character etc.
This mostly follows the "printf()" scheme but without requiring an
additional length parameter to distinguish between different integer
widths. The {fmt} library will detect those and adapt the formatting
accordingly. For floating point numbers there are correspondingly, 'g'
for generic presentation, 'e' for exponential presentation, and 'f' for
fixed point presentation.
Thus "{:8}" would represent *any* type argument using at least 8
characters; "{:<8}" would do this as left aligned, "{:^8}" as centered,
"{:>8}" as right aligned. If a specific presentation is selected, the
argument type must be compatible or else the {fmt} formatting code will
throw an exception. Some format string examples are given below:
.. code-block:: C
auto mesg = fmt::format(" CPU time: {:4d}:{:02d}:{:02d}\n", cpuh, cpum, cpus);
mesg = fmt::format("{:<8s}| {:<10.5g} | {:<10.5g} | {:<10.5g} |{:6.1f} |{:6.2f}\n",
label, time_min, time, time_max, time_sq, tmp);
utils::logmesg(lmp,"{:>6} = max # of 1-2 neighbors\n",maxall);
utils::logmesg(lmp,"Lattice spacing in x,y,z = {:.8} {:.8} {:.8}\n",
xlattice,ylattice,zlattice);
which will create the following output lines:
.. parsed-literal::
CPU time: 0:02:16
Pair | 2.0133 | 2.0133 | 2.0133 | 0.0 | 84.21
4 = max # of 1-2 neighbors
Lattice spacing in x,y,z = 1.6795962 1.6795962 1.6795962
Finally, a special feature of the {fmt} library is that format
parameters like the width or the precision may be also provided as
arguments. In that case a nested format is used where a pair of curly
braces (with an optional argument id) "{}" are used instead of the
value, for example "{:{}d}" will consume two integer arguments, the
first will be the value shown and the second the minimum width.
For more details and examples, please consult the `{fmt} syntax
documentation <https://fmt.dev/latest/syntax.html>`_ website.
Memory management
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dynamical allocation of small data and objects can be done with the
the C++ commands "new" and "delete/delete[]. Large data should use
the member functions of the ``Memory`` class, most commonly,
``Memory::create()``, ``Memory::grow()``, and ``Memory::destroy()``,
which provide variants for vectors, 2d arrays, 3d arrays, etc.
These can also be used for small data.
The use of ``malloc()``, ``calloc()``, ``realloc()`` and ``free()``
directly is strongly discouraged. To simplify adapting legacy code
into the LAMMPS code base the member functions ``Memory::smalloc()``,
``Memory::srealloc()``, and ``Memory::sfree()`` are available, which
perform additional error checks for safety.
Use of these custom memory allocation functions is motivated by the
following considerations:
- memory allocation failures on *any* MPI rank during a parallel run
will trigger an immediate abort of the entire parallel calculation
instead of stalling it
- a failing "new" will trigger an exception which is also captured by
LAMMPS and triggers a global abort
- allocation of multi-dimensional arrays will be done in a C compatible
fashion but so that the storage of the actual data is stored in one
large contiguous block. Thus when MPI communication is needed,
the data can be communicated directly (similar to Fortran arrays).
- the "destroy()" and "sfree()" functions may safely be called on NULL
pointers
- the "destroy()" functions will nullify the pointer variables making
"use after free" errors easy to detect
- it is possible to use a larger than default memory alignment (not on
all operating systems, since the allocated storage pointers must be
compatible with ``free()`` for technical reasons)
In the practical implementation of code this means that any pointer
variables that are class members should be initialized to a
``nullptr`` value in their respective constructors. That way it is
safe to call ``Memory::destroy()`` or ``delete[]`` on them before
*any* allocation outside the constructor. This helps prevent memory
leaks.

Communication patterns
----------------------
This page describes various inter-processor communication operations
provided by LAMMPS, mostly in the core *Comm* class. These are operations
for common tasks implemented using MPI library calls. They are used by
other classes to perform communication of different kinds. These
operations are useful to know about when writing new code for LAMMPS
that needs to communicate data between processors.
Owned and ghost atoms
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As described on the :doc:`parallel partitioning algorithms
<Developer_par_part>` page, LAMMPS spatially decomposes the simulation
domain, either in a *brick* or *tiled* manner. Each processor (MPI
task) owns atoms within its sub-domain and additionally stores ghost
atoms within a cutoff distance of its sub-domain.
Forward and reverse communication
=================================
As described on the :doc:`parallel communication algorithms
<Developer_par_comm>` page, the most common communication operations are
first, *forward communication* which sends owned atom information from
each processor to nearby processors to store with their ghost atoms.
The need to do this communication arises when data from the owned atoms
is updated (e.g. their positions) and this updated information needs to
be **copied** to the corresponding ghost atoms.
And second, *reverse communication* which sends ghost atom information
from each processor to the owning processor to **accumulate** (sum)
the values with the corresponding owned atoms. The need for this
arises when data is computed and also stored with ghost atoms
(e.g. forces when using a "half" neighbor list) and thus those terms
need to be added to their corresponding atoms on the process where
they are "owned" atoms. Please note, that with the :doc:`newton off
<newton>` setting this does not happen and the neighbor lists are
constructed so that these interactions are computed on both MPI
processes containing one of the atoms and only the data pertaining to
the local atom is stored.
The time-integration classes in LAMMPS invoke these operations each
timestep via the *forward_comm()* and *reverse_comm()* methods in the
*Comm* class. Which per-atom data is communicated depends on the
currently used :doc:`atom style <atom_style>` and whether
:doc:`comm_modify vel <comm_modify>` setting is "no" (default) or
"yes".
Similarly, *Pair* style classes can invoke the *forward_comm(this)*
and *reverse_comm(this)* methods in the *Comm* class to perform the
same operations on per-atom data that is generated and stored within
the pair style class. Note that this function requires passing the
``this`` pointer as the first argument to enable the *Comm* class to
call the "pack" and "unpack" functions discussed below. An example of
the use of these functions are many-body pair styles like the
embedded-atom method (EAM) which compute intermediate values in the
first part of the compute() function that need to be stored by both
owned and ghost atoms for the second part of the force computation.
The *Comm* class methods perform the MPI communication for buffers of
per-atom data. They "call back" to the *Pair* class so it can *pack*
or *unpack* the buffer with data the *Pair* class owns. There are 4
such methods that the *Pair* class must define, assuming it uses both
forward and reverse communication:
* pack_forward_comm()
* unpack_forward_comm()
* pack_reverse_comm()
* unpack_reverse_comm()
The arguments to these methods include the buffer and a list of atoms
to pack or unpack. The *Pair* class also must set the *comm_forward*
and *comm_reverse* variables which store the number of values stored
in the communication buffers for each operation. This means, if
desired, it can choose to store multiple per-atom values in the
buffer, and they will be communicated together to minimize
communication overhead. The communication buffers are defined vectors
containing ``double`` values. To correctly store integers that may be
64-bit (bigint, tagint, imageint) in the buffer, you need to use the
`ubuf union <Communication buffer coding with ubuf>`_ construct.
The *Fix*, *Compute*, and *Dump* classes can also invoke the same kind
of forward and reverse communication operations using the same *Comm*
class methods. Likewise the same pack/unpack methods and
comm_forward/comm_reverse variables must be defined by the calling
*Fix*, *Compute*, or *Dump* class.
For *Fix* classes there is an optional second argument to the
*forward_comm()* and *reverse_comm()* call which can be used when the
fix performs multiple modes of communication, with different numbers
of values per atom. The fix should set the *comm_forward* and
*comm_reverse* variables to the maximum value, but can invoke the
communication for a particular mode with a smaller value. For this
to work, the *pack_forward_comm()*, etc methods typically use a class
member variable to choose which values to pack/unpack into/from the
buffer.
Finally, for reverse communications in *Fix* classes there is also the
*reverse_comm_variable()* method that allows the communication to have
a different amount of data per-atom. It invokes these corresponding
callback methods:
* pack_reverse_comm_size()
* unpack_reverse_comm_size()
which have extra arguments to specify the amount of data stored
in the buffer for each atom.
Higher level communication
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are also several higher-level communication operations provided
in LAMMPS which work for either *brick* or *tiled* decompositions.
They may be useful for a new class to invoke if it requires more
sophisticated communication than the *forward* and *reverse* methods
provide. The 3 communication operations described here are
* ring
* irregular
* rendezvous
You can invoke these *grep* command in the LAMMPS src directory, to
see a list of classes that invoke the 3 operations.
* ``grep "\->ring" *.cpp */*.cpp``
* ``grep "irregular\->" *.cpp``
* ``grep "\->rendezvous" *.cpp */*.cpp``
Ring operation
==============
The *ring* operation is invoked via the *ring()* method in the *Comm*
class.
Each processor first creates a buffer with a list of values, typically
associated with a subset of the atoms it owns. Now think of the *P*
processors as connected to each other in a *ring*. Each processor *M*
sends data to the next *M+1* processor. It receives data from the
preceding *M-1* processor. The ring is periodic so that the last
processor sends to the first processor, and the first processor
receives from the last processor.
Invoking the *ring()* method passes each processor's buffer in *P*
steps around the ring. At each step a *callback* method, provided as
an argument to ring(), in the caller is invoked. This allows each
processor to examine the data buffer provided by every other
processor. It may extract values needed by its atoms from the
buffers, or it may alter placeholder values in the buffer. In the
latter case, when the *ring* operation is complete, each processor can
examine its original buffer to extract modified values.
Note that the *ring* operation is similar to an MPI_Alltoall()
operation where every processor effectively sends and receives data to
every other processor. The difference is that the *ring* operation
does it one step at a time, so the total volume of data does not need
to be stored by every processor. However, the *ring* operation is
also less efficient than MPI_Alltoall() because of the *P* stages
required. So it is typically only suitable for small data buffers and
occasional operations that are not time-critical.
Irregular operation
===================
The *irregular* operation is provided by the *Irregular* class. What
LAMMPS terms irregular communication is when each processor knows what
data it needs to send to what processor, but does not know what
processors are sending it data. An example is when load-balancing is
performed and each processor needs to send some of its atoms to new
processors.
The *Irregular* class provides 5 high-level methods useful in this
context:
* create_data()
* exchange_data()
* create_atom()
* exchange_atom()
* migrate_atoms()
For the *create_data()* method, each processor specifies a list of *N*
datums to send, each to a specified processor. Internally, the method
creates efficient data structures for performing the communication.
The *exchange_data()* method triggers the communication to be
performed. Each processor provides the vector of *N* datums to send,
and the size of each datum. All datums must be the same size.
The *create_atom()* and *exchange_atom()* methods are similar except
that the size of each datum can be different. Typically this is used
to communicate atoms, each with a variable amount of per-atom data, to
other processors.
The *migrate_atoms()* method is a convenience wrapper on the
*create_atom()* and *exchange_atom()* methods to simplify
communication of all the per-atom data associated with an atom so that
the atom can effectively migrate to a new owning processor. It is
similar to the *exchange()* method in the *Comm* class invoked when
atoms move to neighboring processors (in the regular or tiled
decomposition) during timestepping, except that it allows atoms to
have moved arbitrarily long distances and still be properly
communicated to a new owning processor.
Rendezvous operation
====================
Finally, the *rendezvous* operation is invoked via the *rendezvous()*
method in the *Comm* class. Depending on how much communication is
needed and how many processors a LAMMPS simulation is running on, it
can be a much more efficient choice than the *ring()* method. It uses
the *irregular* operation internally once or twice to do its
communication. The rendezvous algorithm is described in detail in
:ref:`(Plimpton) <Plimpton>`, including some LAMMPS use cases.
For the *rendezvous()* method, each processor specifies a list of *N*
datums to send and which processor to send each of them to.
Internally, this communication is performed as an irregular operation.
The received datums are returned to the caller via invocation of
*callback* function, provided as an argument to *rendezvous()*. The
caller can then process the received datums and (optionally) assemble
a new list of datums to communicate to a new list of specific
processors. When the callback function exits, the *rendezvous()*
method performs a second irregular communication on the new list of
datums.
Examples in LAMMPS of use of the *rendezvous* operation are the
:doc:`fix rigid/small <fix_rigid>` and :doc:`fix shake
<fix_shake>` commands (for one-time identification of the rigid body
atom clusters) and the identification of special_bond 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4
neighbors within molecules. See the :doc:`special_bonds <special_bonds>`
command for context.

Reading and parsing of text and text files
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It is frequently required for a class in LAMMPS to read in additional
data from a file, e.g. potential parameters from a potential file for
manybody potentials. LAMMPS provides several custom classes and
convenience functions to simplify the process. They offer the
following benefits:
- better code reuse and fewer lines of code needed to implement reading
and parsing data from a file
- better detection of format errors, incompatible data, and better error messages
- exit with an error message instead of silently converting only part of the
text to a number or returning a 0 on unrecognized text and thus reading incorrect values
- re-entrant code through avoiding global static variables (as used by ``strtok()``)
- transparent support for translating unsupported UTF-8 characters to their ASCII equivalents
(the text-to-value conversion functions **only** accept ASCII characters)
In most cases (e.g. potential files) the same data is needed on all MPI
ranks. Then it is best to do the reading and parsing only on MPI rank
0, and communicate the data later with one or more ``MPI_Bcast()``
calls. For reading generic text and potential parameter files the
custom classes :cpp:class:`TextFileReader <LAMMPS_NS::TextFileReader>`
and :cpp:class:`PotentialFileReader <LAMMPS_NS::PotentialFileReader>`
are available. They allow reading the file as individual lines for which
they can return a tokenizer class (see below) for parsing the line. Or
they can return blocks of numbers as a vector directly. The
documentation on :ref:`File reader classes <file-reader-classes>`
contains an example for a typical case.
When reading per-atom data, the data on each line of the file usually
needs to include an atom ID so it can be associated with a particular
atom. In that case the data can be read in multi-line chunks and
broadcast to all MPI ranks with
:cpp:func:`utils::read_lines_from_file()
<LAMMPS_NS::utils::read_lines_from_file>`. Those chunks are then
split into lines, parsed, and applied only to atoms the MPI rank
"owns".
For splitting a string (incrementally) into words and optionally
converting those to numbers, the :cpp:class:`Tokenizer
<LAMMPS_NS::Tokenizer>` and :cpp:class:`ValueTokenizer
<LAMMPS_NS::ValueTokenizer>` can be used. Those provide a superset of
the functionality of ``strtok()`` from the C-library and the latter
also includes conversion to different types. Any errors while
processing the string in those classes will result in an exception,
which can be caught and the error processed as needed. Unlike the
C-library functions ``atoi()``, ``atof()``, ``strtol()``, or
``strtod()`` the conversion will check if the converted text is a
valid integer or floating point number and will not silently return an
unexpected or incorrect value. For example, ``atoi()`` will return 12
when converting "12.5", while the ValueTokenizer class will throw an
:cpp:class:`InvalidIntegerException
<LAMMPS_NS::InvalidIntegerException>` if
:cpp:func:`ValueTokenizer::next_int()
<LAMMPS_NS::ValueTokenizer::next_int>` is called on the same string.
Requesting and accessing neighbor lists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
LAMMPS uses Verlet-style neighbor lists to avoid having to loop over
*all* pairs of *all* atoms when computing pairwise properties with a
cutoff (e.g. pairwise forces or radial distribution functions). There
are three main algorithms that can be selected by the :doc:`neighbor
command <neighbor>`: `bin` (the default, uses binning to achieve linear
scaling with system size), `nsq` (without binning, quadratic scaling),
`multi` (with binning, optimized for varying cutoffs or polydisperse
granular particles). In addition to how the neighbor lists are
constructed a number of different variants of neighbor lists need to be
created (e.g. "full" or "half") for different purposes and styles and
those may be required in every time step ("perpetual") or on some steps
("occasional").
The neighbor list creation is managed by the ``Neighbor`` class.
Individual classes can obtain a neighbor list by creating an instance of
a ``NeighRequest`` class which is stored in a list inside the
``Neighbor`` class. The ``Neighbor`` class will then analyze the
various requests and apply optimizations where neighbor lists that have
the same settings will be created only once and then copied, or a list
may be constructed by processing a neighbor list from a different
request that is a superset of the requested list. The neighbor list
build is then :doc:`processed in parallel <Developer_par_neigh>`.
The most commonly required neighbor list is a so-called "half" neighbor
list, where each pair of atoms is listed only once (except when the
:doc:`newton command setting <newton>` for pair is off; in that case
pairs straddling sub-domains or periodic boundaries will be listed twice).
Thus these are the default settings when a neighbor list request is created in:
.. code-block:: C++
void Pair::init_style()
{
neighbor->add_request(this);
}
void Pair::init_list(int /*id*/, NeighList *ptr)
{
list = ptr;
}
The ``this`` pointer argument is required so the neighbor list code can
access the requesting class instance to store the assembled neighbor
list with that instance by calling its ``init_list()`` member function.
The optional second argument (omitted here) contains a bitmask of flags
that determines the kind of neighbor list requested. The default value
used here asks for a perpetual "half" neighbor list.
Non-default values of the second argument need to be used to adjust a
neighbor list request to the specific needs of a style an additional
request flag is needed. The :doc:`tersoff <pair_tersoff>` pair style,
for example, needs a "full" neighbor list:
.. code-block:: C++
void PairTersoff::init_style()
{
// [...]
neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_FULL);
}
When a pair style supports r-RESPA time integration with different cutoff regions,
the request flag may depend on the corresponding r-RESPA settings. Here an example
from pair style lj/cut:
.. code-block:: C++
void PairLJCut::init_style()
{
int list_style = NeighConst::REQ_DEFAULT;
if (update->whichflag == 1 && utils::strmatch(update->integrate_style, "^respa")) {
auto respa = (Respa *) update->integrate;
if (respa->level_inner >= 0) list_style = NeighConst::REQ_RESPA_INOUT;
if (respa->level_middle >= 0) list_style = NeighConst::REQ_RESPA_ALL;
}
neighbor->add_request(this, list_style);
// [...]
}
Granular pair styles need neighbor lists based on particle sizes and not cutoff
and also may require to have the list of previous neighbors available ("history").
For example with:
.. code-block:: C++
if (use_history) neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_SIZE | NeighConst::REQ_HISTORY);
else neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_SIZE);
In case a class would need to make multiple neighbor list requests with different
settings each request can set an id which is then used in the corresponding
``init_list()`` function to assign it to the suitable pointer variable. This is
done for example by the :doc:`pair style meam <pair_meam>`:
.. code-block:: C++
void PairMEAM::init_style()
{
// [...]
neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_FULL)->set_id(1);
neighbor->add_request(this)->set_id(2);
}
void PairMEAM::init_list(int id, NeighList *ptr)
{
if (id == 1) listfull = ptr;
else if (id == 2) listhalf = ptr;
}
Fixes may require a neighbor list that is only build occasionally (or
just once) and this can also be indicated by a flag. As an example here
is the request from the ``FixPeriNeigh`` class which is created
internally by :doc:`Peridynamics pair styles <pair_peri>`:
.. code-block:: C++
neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_FULL | NeighConst::REQ_OCCASIONAL);
It is also possible to request a neighbor list that uses a different cutoff
than what is usually inferred from the pair style settings (largest cutoff of
all pair styles plus neighbor list skin). The following is used in the
:doc:`compute rdf <compute_rdf>` command implementation:
.. code-block:: C++
if (cutflag)
neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_OCCASIONAL)->set_cutoff(mycutneigh);
else
neighbor->add_request(this, NeighConst::REQ_OCCASIONAL);
The neighbor list request function has a slightly different set of arguments
when created by a command style. In this case the neighbor list is
*always* an occasional neighbor list, so that flag is not needed. However
for printing the neighbor list summary the name of the requesting command
should be set. Below is the request from the :doc:`delete atoms <delete_atoms>`
command:
.. code-block:: C++
neighbor->add_request(this, "delete_atoms", NeighConst::REQ_FULL);

Compiling plugins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Plugins need to be compiled with the same compilers and libraries
(e.g. MPI) and compilation settings (MPI on/off, OpenMP, integer sizes)
as the LAMMPS executable and library. Otherwise the plugin will likely
not load due to mismatches in the function signatures (LAMMPS is C++ so
scope, type, and number of arguments are encoded into the symbol names
and thus differences in them will lead to failed plugin load commands.
Compilation of the plugin can be managed via both, CMake or traditional
GNU makefiles. Some examples that can be used as a template are in the
``examples/plugins`` folder. The CMake script code has some small
adjustments to allow building the plugins for running unit tests with
them. Another example that converts the KIM package into a plugin can be
found in the ``examples/kim/plugin`` folder. No changes to the sources
of the KIM package themselves are needed; only the plugin interface and
loader code needs to be added. This example only supports building with
CMake, but is probably a more typical example. To compile you need to
run CMake with -DLAMMPS_SOURCE_DIR=<path/to/lammps/src/folder>. Other

Using LAMMPS in client/server mode
==================================
Client/server coupling of two codes is where one code is the "client"
and sends request messages to a "server" code. The server responds to
each request with a reply message. This enables the two codes to work
in tandem to perform a simulation. LAMMPS can act as either a client
or server code.
Some advantages of client/server coupling are that the two codes run
as stand-alone executables; they are not linked together. Thus
neither code needs to have a library interface. This often makes it
easier to run the two codes on different numbers of processors. If a
message protocol (format and content) is defined for a particular kind
of simulation, then in principle any code that implements the
client-side protocol can be used in tandem with any code that
implements the server-side protocol, without the two codes needing to
know anything more specific about each other.
A simple example of client/server coupling is where LAMMPS is the
client code performing MD timestepping. Each timestep it sends a
message to a server quantum code containing current coords of all the
atoms. The quantum code computes energy and forces based on the
coords. It returns them as a message to LAMMPS, which completes the
timestep.
A more complex example is where LAMMPS is the client code and
processes a series of data files, sending each configuration to a
quantum code to compute energy and forces. Or LAMMPS runs dynamics
with an atomistic force field, but pauses every N steps to ask the
quantum code to compute energy and forces.
Alternate methods for code coupling with LAMMPS are described on
the :doc:`Howto couple <Howto_couple>` doc page.
The protocol for using LAMMPS as a client is to use these 3 commands
in this order (other commands may come in between):
* :doc:`message client <message>` # initiate client/server interaction
* :doc:`fix client/md <fix_client_md>` # any client fix which makes specific requests to the server
* :doc:`message quit <message>` # terminate client/server interaction
In between the two message commands, a client fix command and
:doc:`unfix <unfix>` command can be used multiple times. Similarly,
this sequence of 3 commands can be repeated multiple times, assuming
the server program operates in a similar fashion, to initiate and
terminate client/server communication.
The protocol for using LAMMPS as a server is to use these 2 commands
in this order (other commands may come in between):
* :doc:`message server <message>` # initiate client/server interaction
* :doc:`server md <server_md>` # any server command which responds to specific requests from the client
This sequence of 2 commands can be repeated multiple times, assuming
the client program operates in a similar fashion, to initiate and
terminate client/server communication.
LAMMPS support for client/server coupling is in its :ref:`MESSAGE package <PKG-MESSAGE>` which implements several
commands that enable LAMMPS to act as a client or server, as discussed
below. The MESSAGE package also wraps a client/server library called
CSlib which enables two codes to exchange messages in different ways,
either via files, sockets, or MPI. The CSlib is provided with LAMMPS
in the lib/message dir. The CSlib has its own
`website <https://cslib.sandia.gov>`_ with documentation and test
programs.
.. note::
For client/server coupling to work between LAMMPS and another
code, the other code also has to use the CSlib. This can sometimes be
done without any modifications to the other code by simply wrapping it
with a Python script that exchanges CSlib messages with LAMMPS and
prepares input for or processes output from the other code. The other
code also has to implement a matching protocol for the format and
content of messages that LAMMPS exchanges with it.
These are the commands currently in the MESSAGE package for two
protocols, MD and MC (Monte Carlo). New protocols can easily be
defined and added to this directory, where LAMMPS acts as either the
client or server.
* :doc:`message <message>`
* :doc:`fix client md <fix_client_md>` = LAMMPS is a client for running MD
* :doc:`server md <server_md>` = LAMMPS is a server for computing MD forces
* :doc:`server mc <server_mc>` = LAMMPS is a server for computing a Monte Carlo energy
The server doc files give details of the message protocols
for data that is exchanged between the client and server.
These example directories illustrate how to use LAMMPS as either a
client or server code:
* examples/message
* examples/COUPLE/README
* examples/COUPLE/lammps_mc
* examples/COUPLE/lammps_nwchem
* examples/COUPLE/lammps_vasp
The examples/message directory couples a client instance of LAMMPS to a
server instance of LAMMPS.
The files in the *lammps_mc* folder show how to couple LAMMPS as
a server to a simple Monte Carlo client code as the driver.
The files in the *lammps_nwchem* folder show how to couple LAMMPS
as a client code running MD timestepping to NWChem acting as a
server providing quantum DFT forces, through a Python wrapper script
on NWChem.
The files in the *lammps_vasp* folder show how to couple LAMMPS as
a client code running MD timestepping to VASP acting as a server
providing quantum DFT forces, through a Python wrapper script on VASP.
Here is how to launch a client and server code together for any of the
4 modes of message exchange that the :doc:`message <message>` command
and the CSlib support. Here LAMMPS is used as both the client and
server code. Another code could be substituted for either.
The examples below show launching both codes from the same window (or
batch script), using the "&" character to launch the first code in the
background. For all modes except *mpi/one*, you could also launch the
codes in separate windows on your desktop machine. It does not
matter whether you launch the client or server first.
In these examples either code can be run on one or more processors.
If running in a non-MPI mode (file or zmq) you can launch a code on a
single processor without using mpirun.
IMPORTANT: If you run in mpi/two mode, you must launch both codes via
mpirun, even if one or both of them runs on a single processor. This
is so that MPI can figure out how to connect both MPI processes
together to exchange MPI messages between them.
For message exchange in *file*, *zmq*, or *mpi/two* modes:
.. code-block:: bash
% mpirun -np 1 lmp_mpi -log log.client < in.client &
% mpirun -np 2 lmp_mpi -log log.server < in.server
% mpirun -np 4 lmp_mpi -log log.client < in.client &
% mpirun -np 1 lmp_mpi -log log.server < in.server
% mpirun -np 2 lmp_mpi -log log.client < in.client &
% mpirun -np 4 lmp_mpi -log log.server < in.server
For message exchange in *mpi/one* mode:
Launch both codes in a single mpirun command:
.. code-block:: bash
mpirun -np 2 lmp_mpi -mpicolor 0 -in in.message.client -log log.client : -np 4 lmp_mpi -mpicolor 1 -in in.message.server -log log.server
The two -np values determine how many procs the client and the server
run on.
A LAMMPS executable run in this manner must use the -mpicolor color
command-line option as their its option, where color is an integer
label that will be used to distinguish one executable from another in
the multiple executables that the mpirun command launches. In this
example the client was colored with a 0, and the server with a 1.

Using LAMMPS with the MDI library for code coupling

In MDI nomenclature, a client code is the "driver", and a server code is
an "engine". One driver code can communicate with one or more instances
of one or more engine codes. Driver and engine codes can be written in
any language: C, C++, Fortran, Python, etc.
In addition to allowing driver and engine(s) running to run as
stand-alone executables, MDI also enables a server code to be a
"plugin" to the client code. In this scenario, server code(s) are
compiled as shared libraries, and one (or more) instances of the
server are instantiated by the driver code. If the driver code runs
in parallel, it can split its MPI communicator into multiple
sub-communicators, and launch each plugin engine instance on a
sub-communicator. Driver processors in that sub-communicator exchange
messages with that engine instance, and can also send MPI messages to
other processors in the driver. The driver code can also destroy
engine instances and re-instantiate them.
In addition to allowing driver and engine(s) to run as stand-alone
executables, MDI also enables an engine to be a *plugin* to the client
code. In this scenario, server code(s) are compiled as shared
libraries, and one (or more) instances of the server are instantiated
by the driver code. If the driver code runs in parallel, it can split
its MPI communicator into multiple sub-communicators, and launch each
plugin engine instance on a sub-communicator. Driver processors
within that sub-communicator exchange messages with the corresponding
engine instance, and can also send MPI messages to other processors in
the driver. The driver code can also destroy engine instances and
re-instantiate them. LAMMPS can operate as either a stand-alone or
plugin MDI engine. When it operates as a driver, if can use either
stand-alone or plugin MDI engines.
The way that a driver communicates with an engine is by making
MDI_Send() and MDI_Recv() calls, which are conceptually similar to
MPI_Send() and MPI_Recv() calls. Each send or receive has a string
which identifies the command name, and optionally some data, which can
be a single value or vector of values of any data type. Inside the
MDI library, data is exchanged between the driver and engine via MPI
calls or sockets. This a run-time choice by the user.

----------
The :ref:`MDI <PKG-MDI>` package provides a :doc:`mdi engine <mdi>`
command which enables LAMMPS to operate as an MDI engine. Its doc
page explains the variety of standard and custom MDI commands which
the LAMMPS engine recognizes and can respond to.
The package also provides a :doc:`mdi plugin <mdi>` command which
enables LAMMPS to operate as an MDI driver and load an MDI engine as a
plugin library.
The package also has a `fix mdi/aimd <fix_mdi_aimd>` command in which
LAMMPS operates as an MDI driver to perform *ab initio* MD simulations
in conjunction with a quantum mechanics code. Its post_force() method
illustrates how a driver issues MDI commands to another code. This
command can be used to couple to an MDI engine which is either a
stand-alone code or a plugin library.
----------
The examples/mdi directory contains Python scripts and LAMMPS input
script which use LAMMPS as either an MDI driver or engine or both.
Three example use cases are provided:
* Run ab initio MD (AIMD) using 2 instances of LAMMPS, one as driver
and one as an engine. As an engine, LAMMPS is a surrogate for a
quantum code.
* A Python script driver invokes a sequence of unrelated LAMMPS
calculations. Calculations can be single-point energy/force
evaluations, MD runs, or energy minimizations.
* Run AIMD with a Python driver code and 2 LAMMPS instances as
engines. The first LAMMPS instance performs MD timestepping. The
second LAMMPS instance acts as a surrogate QM code to compute
forces.
Note that in any of these example where LAMMPS is used as an engine,
an actual QM code (which supports MDI) could be used in its place,
without modifying other code or scripts, except to specify the name of
the QM code.
The examples/mdi/README file explains how to launch both driver and
engine codes so that they communicate using the MDI library via either
MPI or sockets.
-------------
As an example, LAMMPS and the ``pw.x`` command from Quantum Espresso (a
suite of quantum DFT codes), can work together via the MDI library to
perform an ab initio MD (AIMD) simulation, where LAMMPS runs an MD
simulation and sends a message each timestep to ``pw.x`` asking it to
compute quantum forces on the current configuration of atoms. Here is
how the 2 codes are launched to communicate by MPI:
Currently there are two quantum DFT codes which have direct MDI
support, `Quantum ESPRESSO (QE) <https://www.quantum-espresso.org/>`_
and `INQ <https://qsg.llnl.gov/node/101.html>`_. There are also
several QM codes which have indirect support through QCEngine or i-PI.
The former means they require a wrapper program (QCEngine) with MDI
support which writes/read files to pass data to the quantum code
itself. The list of QCEngine-supported and i-PI-supported quantum
codes is on the `MDI webpage
<https://molssi-mdi.github.io/MDI_Library/html/index.html>`_.
Here is how to build QE as a stand-alone ``pw.x`` file which can be
used in stand-alone mode:
.. code-block:: bash
% mpirun -np 2 lmp_mpi -mdi "-role DRIVER -name d -method MPI" \
-in in.aimd : -np 16 pw.x -in qe.in -mdi "-role ENGINE -name e -method MPI"
% git clone --branch mdi_plugin https://github.com/MolSSI-MDI/q-e.git <base_path>/q-e
% build the executable pw.x, following the `QE build guide <https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e/-/wikis/Developers/CMake-build-system>`_
In this case LAMMPS runs on 2 processors (MPI tasks), ``pw.x`` runs on 16
processors.
Here is how the 2 codes are launched to communicate by sockets:
Here is how to build QE as a shared library which can be used in plugin mode,
which results in a libqemdi.so file in <base_path>/q-e/MDI/src:
.. code-block:: bash
% mpirun -np 2 lmp_mpi -mdi "-role DRIVER -name d -method TCP -port 8021" -in in.aimd
% mpirun -np 16 pw.x -in qe.in -mdi "-role ENGINE -name e -method TCP -port 8021 -hostname localhost"
% git clone --branch mdi_plugin https://github.com/MolSSI-MDI/q-e.git <base_path>/q-e
% cd <base_path>/q-e
% ./configure --enable-parallel --enable-openmp --enable-shared FFLAGS="-fPIC" FCFLAGS="-fPIC" CFLAGS="-fPIC" foxflags="-fPIC" try_foxflags="-fPIC"
% make -j 4 mdi
These commands could be issued in different windows on a desktop
machine. Or in the same window, if the first command is ended with
"&" so as to run in the background. If "localhost" is replaced by an
IP address, ``pw.x`` could be run on another machine on the same network, or
even on another machine across the country.
INQ cannot be built as a stand-alone code; it is by design a library.
Here is how to build INQ as a shared library which can be used in
plugin mode, which results in a libinqmdi.so file in
<base_path>/inq/build/examples:
After both codes initialize themselves to model the same system, this is
what occurs each timestep:
.. code-block:: bash
* LAMMPS send a ">COORDS" message to ``pw.x`` with a 3*N vector of current atom coords
* ``pw.x`` receives the message/coords and computes quantum forces on all the atoms
* LAMMPS send a "<FORCES" message to ``pw.x`` and waits for the result
* ``pw.x`` receives the message (after its computation finishes) and sends a 3*N vector of forces
* LAMMPS receives the forces and time integrates to complete a single timestep
-------------
Examples scripts for using LAMMPS as an MDI engine are in the
examples/mdi directory. See the README file in that directory for
instructions on how to run the examples.
.. note::
Work is underway to add commands that allow LAMMPS to be used as an
MDI driver, e.g. for the AIMD example discussed above. Example
scripts for this usage mode will be added the same directory when
available.
If LAMMPS is used as a stand-alone engine it should set up the system
it will be modeling in its input script, then invoke the
:doc:`mdi/engine <mdi_engine>` command. This will put LAMMPS into
"engine mode" where it waits for messages and data from the driver.
When the driver sends an "EXIT" command, LAMMPS will exit engine mode
and the input script will continue.
If LAMMPS is used as a plugin engine it operates the same way, except
that the driver will pass LAMMPS an input script to initialize itself.
Upon receiving the "EXIT" command, LAMMPS will exit engine mode and the
input script will continue. After finishing execution of the input
script, the instance of LAMMPS will be destroyed.
LAMMPS supports the full set of MD-appropriate engine commands defined
by the MDI library. See the :doc:`mdi/engine <mdi_engine>` page for
a list of these.
If those commands are not sufficient for a user-developed driver to use
LAMMPS as an engine, then new commands can be easily added. See these
two files which implement the definition of MDI commands and the logic
for responding to them:
* src/MDI/mdi_engine.cpp
* src/MDI/fix_mdi_engine.cpp
% git clone --branch mdi --recurse-submodules https://gitlab.com/taylor-a-barnes/inq.git <base_path>/inq
% cd <base_path>/inq
% mkdir -p build
% cd build
% ../configure --prefix=<install_path>/install

Overview
========
The best way to add a new feature to LAMMPS is to find a similar
feature and look at the corresponding source and header files to figure
out what it does. You will need some knowledge of C++ to be able to
understand the high-level structure of LAMMPS and its class
organization, but functions (class methods) that do actual
computations are written in vanilla C-style code and operate on simple
C-style data structures (vectors and arrays).

Thermodynamic output options
============================
There is one class that computes and prints thermodynamic information
to the screen and log file; see the file thermo.cpp.
The ``Thermo`` class computes and prints thermodynamic information to
the screen and log file; see the files ``thermo.cpp`` and ``thermo.h``.
There are two styles defined in thermo.cpp: "one" and "multi". There
is also a flexible "custom" style which allows the user to explicitly
list keywords for quantities to print when thermodynamic info is
output. See the :doc:`thermo_style <thermo_style>` command for a list
of defined quantities.
There are four styles defined in ``thermo.cpp``: "one", "multi", "yaml",
and "custom". The "custom" style allows the user to explicitly list
keywords for individual quantities to print when thermodynamic output is
generated. The others have a fixed list of keywords. See the
:doc:`thermo_style <thermo_style>` command for a list of available
quantities. The formatting of the "custom" style defaults to the "one"
style, but can be adapted using :doc:`thermo_modify line <thermo_modify>`.
The thermo styles (one, multi, etc) are simply lists of keywords.
Adding a new style thus only requires defining a new list of keywords.
Search for the word "customize" with references to "thermo style" in
thermo.cpp to see the two locations where code will need to be added.
The thermo styles (one, multi, etc) are defined by lists of keywords
with associated formats for integer and floating point numbers and
identified but an enumerator constant. Adding a new style thus mostly
requires defining a new list of keywords and the associated formats and
then inserting the required output processing where the enumerators are
identified. Search for the word "CUSTOMIZATION" with references to
"thermo style" in the ``thermo.cpp`` file to see the locations where
code will need to be added. The member function ``Thermo::header()``
prints output at the very beginning of a thermodynamic output block and
can be used to print column headers or other front matter. The member
function ``Thermo::footer()`` prints output at the end of a
thermodynamic output block. The formatting of the output is done by
assembling a "line" (which may span multiple lines if the style inserts
newline characters ("\n" as in the "multi" style).
New keywords can also be added to thermo.cpp to compute new quantities
for output. Search for the word "customize" with references to
"keyword" in thermo.cpp to see the several locations where code will
need to be added.
New thermodynamic keywords can also be added to ``thermo.cpp`` to
compute new quantities for output. Search for the word "CUSTOMIZATION"
with references to "keyword" in ``thermo.cpp`` to see the several
locations where code will need to be added. Effectively, you need to
define a member function that computes the property, add an if statement
in ``Thermo::parse_fields()`` where the corresponding header string for
the keyword and the function pointer is registered by calling the
``Thermo::addfield()`` method, and add an if statement in
``Thermo::evaluate_keyword()`` which is called from the ``Variable``
class when a thermo keyword is encountered.
Note that the :doc:`thermo_style custom <thermo_style>` command already allows
for thermo output of quantities calculated by :doc:`fixes <fix>`,
:doc:`computes <compute>`, and :doc:`variables <variable>`. Thus, it may
be simpler to compute what you wish via one of those constructs, than
by adding a new keyword to the thermo command.
.. note::
The third argument to ``Thermo::addfield()`` is a flag indicating
whether the function for the keyword computes a floating point
(FLOAT), regular integer (INT), or big integer (BIGINT) value. This
information is used for formatting the thermodynamic output. Inside
the function the result must then be stored either in the ``dvalue``,
``ivalue`` or ``bivalue`` member variable, respectively.
Since the :doc:`thermo_style custom <thermo_style>` command allows to
use output of quantities calculated by :doc:`fixes <fix>`,
:doc:`computes <compute>`, and :doc:`variables <variable>`, it may often
be simpler to compute what you wish via one of those constructs, rather
than by adding a new keyword to the thermo_style command.

"""""""""""
Define a computation that calculates the change in the free energy due
to a test-area (TA) perturbation :ref:`(Gloor) <Gloor>`. The test-area
approach can be used to determine the interfacial tension of the system
in a single simulation:
.. math::

During the perturbation, both axes of *plane* are scaled by multiplying
:math:`\sqrt{scale\_factor}`, while the other axis divided by
*scale_factor* such that the overall volume of the system is maintained.
The *tail* keyword controls the calculation of the tail correction to
"van der Waals" pair energies beyond the cutoff, if this has been
activated via the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` command. If the
perturbation is small, the tail contribution to the energy difference
between the reference and perturbed systems should be negligible.

The keyword *bikflag* determines whether or not to expand the bispectrum
rows of the global array returned by compute snap. If *bikflag* is set
to *1* then the bispectrum row, which is typically the per-atom bispectrum
descriptors :math:`B_{i,k}` summed over all atoms *i* to produce
:math:`B_k`, becomes bispectrum rows equal to the number of atoms. Thus,
the resulting bispectrum rows are :math:`B_{i,k}` instead of just
:math:`B_k`. In this case, the entries in the final column for these rows
are set to zero.
The keyword *switchinnerflag* activates an additional radial switching
function similar to :math:`f_c(r)` above, but acting to switch off
smoothly contributions from neighbor atoms at short separation distances.
This is useful when SNAP is used in combination with a simple
repulsive potential. The keyword is followed by the *ntypes*
values for :math:`r_{inner}` and the *ntypes*
values for :math:`\Delta r_{inner}`. For a neighbor atom at
distance :math:`r`, its contribution is scaled by a multiplicative
factor :math:`f_{inner}(r)` defined as follows:
.. math::

f_{inner}(r) = & \frac{1}{2}(1 - \cos(\pi \frac{r-r_{inner}}{\Delta r_{inner}})), r_{inner} < r \leq r_{inner} + \Delta r_{inner} \\

NOTE 2: The local stress profiles generated by these computes are
similar to those obtained by the
:doc:`method-of-planes (MOP) <compute_stress_mop>`.
A key difference
is that compute `stress/mop/profile <compute_stress_mop>`
considers particles crossing a set of planes, while
*stress/cartesian* computes averages for a set of small volumes.
More information on the similarities and differences can be found in

These computes calculate the stress tensor contributions for pair
styles only (i.e. no bond, angle, dihedral, etc. contributions, and in
the presence of bonded interactions, the result will be incorrect due to
exclusions for special bonds) and requires pairwise force calculations
not available for most many-body pair styles. K-space calculations are
also excluded.
These computes are part of the EXTRA-COMPUTE package. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :doc:`Build

Dump style *yaml* has the same command syntax as style *custom* and
writes YAML format files that can be easily parsed by a variety of data
processing tools and programming languages. Each timestep will be
written as a YAML "document" (i.e. starts with "---" and ends with
"..."). The style supports writing one file per timestep through the
"\*" wildcard but not multi-processor outputs with the "%" token in the
filename. In addition to per-atom data, :doc:`thermo <thermo>` data can
be included in the *yaml* style dump file using the :doc:`dump_modify
thermo yes <dump_modify>`. The data included in the dump file uses the
"thermo" tag and is otherwise identical to data specified by the
:doc:`thermo_style <thermo_style>` command.

dump_modify command. The list under the "box" tag has 3 lines for
orthogonal boxes and 4 lines with triclinic boxes, where the first 3 are
the box boundaries and the 4th the three tilt factors (xy, xz, yz). The
"thermo" data follows the format of the *yaml* thermo style. The
"keywords" tag lists the per-atom properties contained in the "data"
columns, which contain a list with one line per atom. The keywords may

Description
"""""""""""
This fix style enables LAMMPS to run as a "client" code and
communicate each timestep with a separate "server" code to perform an
MD simulation together.
The :doc:`Howto client/server <Howto_client_server>` page gives an
overview of client/server coupling of LAMMPS with another code where
one code is the "client" and sends request messages to a "server"
code. The server responds to each request with a reply message. This
enables the two codes to work in tandem to perform a simulation.
When using this fix, LAMMPS (as the client code) passes the current
coordinates of all particles to the server code each timestep, which
computes their interaction, and returns the energy, forces, and virial
for the interacting particles to LAMMPS, so it can complete the
timestep.
Note that the server code can be a quantum code, or another classical
MD code which encodes a force field (pair_style in LAMMPS lingo) which
LAMMPS does not have. In the quantum case, this fix is a mechanism
for running *ab initio* MD with quantum forces.
The group associated with this fix is ignored.
The protocol and :doc:`units <units>` for message format and content
that LAMMPS exchanges with the server code is defined on the
:doc:`server md <server_md>` doc page.
Note that when using LAMMPS as an MD client, your LAMMPS input script
should not normally contain force field commands, like a
:doc:`pair_style <pair_style>`, :doc:`bond_style <bond_style>`, or
:doc:`kspace_style <kspace_style>` command. However it is possible
for a server code to only compute a portion of the full force-field,
while LAMMPS computes the remaining part. Your LAMMPS script can also
specify boundary conditions or force constraints in the usual way,
which will be added to the per-atom forces returned by the server
code.
See the examples/message directory for example scripts where LAMMPS is both
the "client" and/or "server" code for this kind of client/server MD
simulation. The examples/message/README file explains how to launch
LAMMPS and another code in tandem to perform a coupled simulation.

Add damping force and torque to finite-size spherical particles in the group
following the model of :ref:`Cundall, 1987 <Cundall1987>`, as implemented in other
granular physics code (e.g., :ref:`Yade-DEM <YadeDEM>`, :ref:`PFC <PFC>`).
The damping is constructed to always have negative mechanical power with respect
to the current velocity/angular velocity to ensure dissipation of kinetic energy.
If used without additional thermostatting (to add kinetic energy to the system),
it has the effect of slowly (or rapidly) freezing the system; hence it can also
be used as a simple energy minimization technique.
The magnitude of the damping force/torque :math:`F_d`/:math:`T_d` is a fraction
:math:`\gamma \in [0;1]` of the current force/torque :math:`F`/:math:`T` on the
particle. Damping is applied component-by-component in each direction
:math:`k\in\{x, y, z\}`:
.. math::
{F_d}_k = - \gamma_l \, F_k \, \mathrm{sign}(F_k v_k)
.. math::
{T_d}_k = - \gamma_a \, T_k \, \mathrm{sign}(T_k \omega_k)
The larger the coefficients, the faster the kinetic energy is reduced.
If the optional keyword *scale* is used, :math:`\gamma_l` and :math:`\gamma_a`
can be scaled up or down by the specified factor for atoms. This factor can be
set for different atom types and thus the *scale* keyword used multiple times
followed by the atom type and the associated scale factor. Alternately the
scaling factor can be computed for each atom (e.g. based on its radius) by
using an :doc:`atom-style variable <variable>`.
.. Note::
The damping force/torque is computed based on the force/torque at the moment
this fix is invoked. Any force/torque added after this fix, e.g., by
:doc:`fix addforce <fix_addforce>` or :doc:`fix addtorque <fix_addtorque>`
will not be damped. When performing simulations with gravity, invoking
:doc:`fix gravity <fix_gravity>` after this fix will maintain the specified
gravitational acceleration.
.. Note::
This scheme is dependent on the coordinates system and does not correspond to
realistic physical processes. It is constructed for numerical convenience and
efficacy.
This non-viscous damping presents the following advantages:
1. damping is independent of velocity, equally damping regions with distinct natural frequencies,
2. damping affects acceleration and vanishes for steady uniform motion of the particles,
3. damping parameter :math:`\gamma` is dimensionless and does not require scaling.

velocity interpolated to the particle location, and :math:`\gamma` is the force
coupling constant. :math:`\zeta` is a weight assigned to the grid point,
obtained by distributing the particle to the nearest lattice sites.
For this, the user has the choice between a trilinear stencil, which
provides a support of 8 lattice sites, or the immersed boundary method
Peskin stencil, which provides a support of 64 lattice sites. While
the Peskin stencil is seen to provide more stable results, the
trilinear stencil may be better suited for simulation of objects close
to walls, due to its smaller support. Therefore, by default, the
Peskin stencil is used; however the user may switch to the trilinear
stencil by specifying the keyword, *trilinear*\ .
:math:`\mathbf{u}_f` is the fluid velocity interpolated to the particle
location, and :math:`\gamma` is the force coupling constant. This
force, as with most forces in LAMMPS, and hence the velocities, are
calculated at the half-time step. :math:`\zeta` is a weight assigned to
the grid point, obtained by distributing the particle to the nearest

By default, the force coupling constant, :math:`\gamma`, is calculated
The force coupling constant, :math:`\gamma`, is calculated
according to
.. math::
\gamma = \frac{2m_um_v}{m_u+m_v}\left(\frac{1}{\Delta t_{collision}}\right)
\gamma = \frac{2m_um_v}{m_u+m_v}\left(\frac{1}{\Delta t}\right)
Here, :math:`m_v` is the mass of the MD particle, :math:`m_u` is a
representative fluid mass at the particle location, and :math:`\Delta
t_{collision}` is a collision time, chosen such that
:math:`\frac{\tau}{\Delta t_{collision}} = 1` (see :ref:`Mackay and
Denniston <Mackay2>` for full details). In order to calculate :math:`m_u`,
the fluid density is interpolated to the MD particle location, and
multiplied by a volume, node_area * :math:`dx_{LB}`, where node_area
represents the portion of the surface area of the composite object
associated with a given MD particle. By default, node_area is set
equal to :math:`dx_{LB}^2`; however specific values for given atom types
can be set using the *setArea* keyword.
The user also has the option of specifying their own value for the
force coupling constant, for all the MD particles associated with the
fix, through the use of the *setGamma* keyword. This may be useful
when modelling porous particles. See :ref:`Mackay et al. <fluid-Mackay>` for a
detailed description of the method by which the user can choose an
appropriate :math:`\gamma` value.

is the time step. The fluid mass :math:`m_u` that the MD particle
interacts with is calculated internally. This coupling is chosen to
constrain the particle and associated fluid velocity to match at the end
of the time step. As with other constraints, such as :doc:`shake
<fix_shake>`, this constraint can remove degrees of freedom from the
simulation which are accounted for internally in the algorithm.
.. note::
while this fix applies the force of the particles on the fluid,
it does not apply the force of the fluid to the particles. When the
force coupling constant is set using the default method, there is only
one option to include this hydrodynamic force on the particles, and
that is through the use of the :doc:`lb/viscous <fix_lb_viscous>` fix.
This fix adds the hydrodynamic force to the total force acting on the
particles, after which any of the built-in LAMMPS integrators can be
used to integrate the particle motion. However, if the user specifies
their own value for the force coupling constant, as mentioned in
:ref:`Mackay et al. <fluid-Mackay>`, the built-in LAMMPS integrators may prove to
be unstable. Therefore, we have included our own integrators
:doc:`fix lb/rigid/pc/sphere <fix_lb_rigid_pc_sphere>`, and
:doc:`fix lb/pc <fix_lb_pc>`, to solve for the particle motion in these
cases. These integrators should not be used with the
:doc:`lb/viscous <fix_lb_viscous>` fix, as they add hydrodynamic forces
to the particles directly. In addition, they can not be used if the
force coupling constant has been set the default way.
.. note::
if the force coupling constant is set using the default method,
and the :doc:`lb/viscous <fix_lb_viscous>` fix is NOT used to add the
While this fix applies the force of the particles on the fluid, it

on the particles, after which any of the built-in LAMMPS integrators
can be used to integrate the particle motion. If the
:doc:`lb/viscous <fix_lb_viscous>` fix is NOT used to add the
hydrodynamic force to the total force acting on the particles, this
physically corresponds to a situation in which an infinitely massive
particle is moving through the fluid (since collisions between the
particle and the fluid do not act to change the particle's velocity).
Therefore, the user should set the mass of the particle to be
significantly larger than the mass of the fluid at the particle
location, in order to approximate an infinitely massive particle (see
the dragforce test run for an example).
In this case, setting *scaleGamma* to -1 for the corresponding
particle type will explicitly take this limit (of infinite particle
mass) in computing the force coupling for the fluid force.
----------
Inside the fix, parameters are scaled by the lattice-Boltzmann
Physical parameters describing the fluid are specified through
*viscosity* and *density*. These parameters should all be given in
terms of the mass, distance, and time units chosen for the main LAMMPS
run, as they are scaled by the LB timestep, lattice spacing, and mass
unit, inside the fix.
The *dx* keyword allows the user to specify a value for the LB grid
spacing and the *dm* keyword allows the user to specify the LB mass
unit. Inside the fix, parameters are scaled by the lattice-Boltzmann
timestep, :math:`dt_{LB}`, grid spacing, :math:`dx_{LB}`, and mass unit,
:math:`dm_{LB}`. :math:`dt_{LB}` is set equal to
:math:`\mathrm{nevery}\cdot dt_{MD}`, where :math:`dt_{MD}` is the MD timestep.
By default,
:math:`dm_{LB}` is set equal to 1.0, and :math:`dx_{LB}` is chosen so that
:math:`\frac{\tau}{dt} = \frac{3\eta dt}{\rho dx^2}` is approximately equal to 1.

Physical parameters describing the fluid are specified through
*viscosity*, *density*, and *a0*\ . If the force coupling constant is
set the default way, the surface area associated with the MD particles
is specified using the *setArea* keyword. If the user chooses to
specify a value for the force coupling constant, this is set using the
*setGamma* keyword. These parameters should all be given in terms of
the mass, distance, and time units chosen for the main LAMMPS run, as
they are scaled by the LB timestep, lattice spacing, and mass unit,
inside the fix.
----------
The *setArea* keyword allows the user to associate a surface area with
a given atom type. For example if a spherical composite object of
radius R is represented as a spherical shell of N evenly distributed
MD particles, all of the same type, the surface area per particle
associated with that atom type should be set equal to :math:`\frac{4\pi R^2}{N}`.
This keyword should only be used if the force coupling constant,
:math:`\gamma`, is set the default way.
The *setGamma* keyword allows the user to specify their own value for
the force coupling constant, :math:`\gamma`, instead of using the default
value.
The *scaleGamma* keyword should be used in conjunction with the
*setGamma* keyword, when the user wishes to specify different :math:`\gamma`
values for different atom types. This keyword allows the user to
scale the *setGamma* :math:`\gamma` value by a factor, gammaFactor,
for a given atom type.
The *dx* keyword allows the user to specify a value for the LB grid
spacing.
The *dm* keyword allows the user to specify the LB mass unit.
If the *a0* keyword is used, the value specified is used for the
square of the speed of sound in the fluid. If this keyword is not
present, the speed of sound squared is set equal to
:math:`\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{dx_{LB}}{dt_{LB}}\right)^2`.
Setting :math:`a0 > (\frac{dx_{LB}}{dt_{LB}})^2` is not allowed,
as this may lead to instabilities.
If the *noise* keyword is used, followed by a positive temperature
value, and a positive integer random number seed, a thermal
lattice-Boltzmann algorithm is used. If *LBtype* is set equal to 1
(i.e. the standard LB integrator is chosen), the thermal LB algorithm
of :ref:`Adhikari et al. <Adhikari>` is used; however if *LBtype* is set
equal to 2 both the LB integrator, and thermal LB algorithm described
in :ref:`Ollila et al. <Ollila>` are used.

of :ref:`Adhikari et al. <Adhikari>` is used.
If the *calcforce* keyword is used, both the fluid force and torque
acting on the specified particle group are printed to the screen every
N timesteps.
If the keyword *stencil* is used, the value sets the number of
interpolation points used in each direction. For this, the user has the
choice between a trilinear stencil (*stencil* 2), which provides a
support of 8 lattice sites, or the 3-point immersed boundary method
stencil (*stencil* 3), which provides a support of 27 lattice sites, or
the 4-point Keys' interpolation stencil (stencil 4), which provides a
support of 64 lattice sites. The trilinear stencil is the default as it
is better suited for simulation of objects close to walls or other
objects, due to its smaller support. The 3-point stencil provides
smoother motion of the lattice and is suitable for particles not likely
to be to close to walls or other objects.
If the keyword *trilinear* is used, the trilinear stencil is used to
interpolate the particle nodes onto the fluid mesh. By default, the
immersed boundary method, Peskin stencil is used. Both of these
interpolation methods are described in :ref:`Mackay et al. <fluid-Mackay>`.
If the keyword *D3Q19* is used, the 19 velocity (D3Q19) lattice is
used by the lattice-Boltzmann algorithm. By default, the 15 velocity
(D3Q15) lattice is used.
If the keyword *write_restart* is used, followed by a positive
integer, N, a binary restart file is printed every N LB timesteps.
This restart file only contains information about the fluid.
Therefore, a LAMMPS restart file should also be written in order to
print out full details of the simulation.

present in the z-direction, and this keyword is not used, the walls
are assumed to be stationary.
If the *pressurebcx* keyword is used, a pressure jump (implemented by a
step jump in density) is imposed at the (periodic) x-boundary. The
value set specifies what would be the resulting equilibrium average
pressure gradient in the x-direction if the system had a constant
cross-section (i.e. resistance to flow). It is converted to a pressure
jump by multiplication by the system size in the x-direction. As this
value should normally be quite small, it is also assumed to be scaled
by 1000.
If the *bodyforce* keyword is used, a constant body force is added to
the fluid, defined by it's x, y and z components.
If the *printfluid* keyword is used, followed by a positive integer, N,
the fluid densities and velocities at each lattice site are printed to the
screen every N timesteps.
If the keyword *D3Q19* is used, the 19 velocity (D3Q19) lattice is
used by the lattice-Boltzmann algorithm. By default, the 15 velocity
(D3Q15) lattice is used.
If the *dumpxdmf* keyword is used, followed by a positive integer, N,
and a file name, the fluid densities and velocities at each lattice site
are output to an xdmf file every N timesteps. This is a binary file
format that can be read by visualization packages such as `Paraview
<https://www.paraview.org/>`_ . The xdmf file format contains a time
index for each frame dump and the value timeI = 1 uses simulation time
while 0 uses the output frame number to index xdmf file. The later can
be useful if the :doc:`dump vtk <dump_vtk>` command is used to output
the particle positions at the same timesteps and you want to visualize
both the fluid and particle data together in `Paraview
<https://www.paraview.org/>`_ .
The *scaleGamma* keyword allows the user to scale the :math:`\gamma`
value by a factor, gammaFactor, for a given atom type. Setting
*scaleGamma* to -1 for the corresponding particle type will explicitly
take the limit of infinite particle mass in computing the force coupling
for the fluid force (see note above).
If the *a0* keyword is used, the value specified is used for the square
of the speed of sound in the fluid. If this keyword is not present, the
speed of sound squared is set equal to
:math:`\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{dx_{LB}}{dt_{LB}}\right)^2`. Setting
:math:`a0 > (\frac{dx_{LB}}{dt_{LB}})^2` is not allowed, as this may
lead to instabilities. As the speed of sound should usually be much
larger than any fluid velocity of interest, its value does not normally
have a significant impact on the results. As such, it is usually best
to use the default for this option.
The *npits* keyword (followed by integer arguments: npits, h_p, l_p,
l_pp, l_e) sets the fluid domain to the pits geometry. These arguments
should only be used if you actually want something more complex than a
rectangular/cubic geometry. The npits value sets the number of pits
regions (arranged along x). The remaining arguments are sizes measured
in multiples of dx_lb: h_p is the z-height of the pit regions, l_p is
the x-length of the pit regions, l_pp is the length of the region
between consecutive pits (referred to as a "slit" region), and l_e is
the x-length of the slit regions at each end of the channel. The pit
geometry must fill the system in the x-direction but can be longer, in
which case it is truncated (which enables asymmetric entrance/exit end
sections). The additional *wp* keyword allows the width (in
y-direction) of the pit to be specified (the default is full width) and
the *sw* keyword indicates that there should be sidewalls in the
y-direction (default is periodic in y-direction). These parameters are
illustrated below::

"""""""""""
This fix is based on the :doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>` command, and was
created to be used in place of that fix, to integrate the equations of
motion of spherical rigid bodies when a lattice-Boltzmann fluid is
present with a user-specified value of the force-coupling constant.
The fix uses the integration algorithm described in :ref:`Mackay et
al. <Mackay>` to update the positions, velocities, and orientations of
a set of spherical rigid bodies experiencing velocity dependent
hydrodynamic forces. The spherical bodies are assumed to rotate as
solid, uniform density spheres, with moments of inertia calculated
using the combined sum of the masses of all the constituent particles
(which are assumed to be point particles).
----------
By default, all of the atoms that this fix acts on experience a
hydrodynamic force due to the presence of the lattice-Boltzmann fluid.
However, the *innerNodes* keyword allows the user to specify atoms
belonging to a rigid object which do not interact with the
lattice-Boltzmann fluid (i.e. these atoms do not feel a hydrodynamic
force from the lattice-Boltzmann fluid). This can be used to
distinguish between atoms on the surface of a non-porous object, and
those on the inside.
This feature can be used, for example, when implementing a hard sphere
interaction between two spherical objects. Instead of interactions
occurring between the particles on the surfaces of the two spheres, it
is desirable simply to place an atom at the center of each sphere,
which does not contribute to the hydrodynamic force, and have these
central atoms interact with one another.
----------
Apart from the features described above, this fix is very similar to
the rigid fix (although it includes fewer optional arguments, and
assumes the constituent atoms are point particles); see
:doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>` for a complete documentation.
Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
No information about the *rigid* and *rigid/nve* fixes are written to
:doc:`binary restart files <restart>`.
The :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` *virial* option is supported by
this fix to add the contribution due to the added forces on atoms to
both the global pressure and per-atom stress of the system via the
:doc:`compute pressure <compute_pressure>` and :doc:`compute
stress/atom <compute_stress_atom>` commands. The former can be
accessed by :doc:`thermodynamic output <thermo_style>`. The default
setting for this fix is :doc:`fix_modify virial yes <fix_modify>`.
Similar to the :doc:`fix rigid <fix_rigid>` command: The rigid fix
computes a global scalar which can be accessed by various :doc:`output
commands <Howto_output>`. The scalar value calculated by these fixes
is "intensive". The scalar is the current temperature of the
collection of rigid bodies. This is averaged over all rigid bodies
and their translational and rotational degrees of freedom. The
translational energy of a rigid body is 1/2 m v\^2, where m = total
mass of the body and v = the velocity of its center of mass. The
rotational energy of a rigid body is 1/2 I w\^2, where I = the moment
of inertia tensor of the body and w = its angular velocity. Degrees
of freedom constrained by the *force* and *torque* keywords are
removed from this calculation.
All of these fixes compute a global array of values which can be
accessed by various :doc:`output commands <Howto_output>`. The number
of rows in the array is equal to the number of rigid bodies. The
number of columns is 15. Thus for each rigid body, 15 values are
stored: the xyz coords of the center of mass (COM), the xyz components
of the COM velocity, the xyz components of the force acting on the
COM, the xyz components of the torque acting on the COM, and the xyz
image flags of the COM, which have the same meaning as image flags for
atom positions (see the "dump" command). The force and torque values
in the array are not affected by the *force* and *torque* keywords in
the fix rigid command; they reflect values before any changes are made
by those keywords.
The ordering of the rigid bodies (by row in the array) is as follows.
For the *single* keyword there is just one rigid body. For the
*molecule* keyword, the bodies are ordered by ascending molecule ID.
For the *group* keyword, the list of group IDs determines the ordering
of bodies.
The array values calculated by these fixes are "intensive", meaning
they are independent of the number of atoms in the simulation.
No parameter of these fixes can be used with the *start/stop* keywords
of the :doc:`run <run>` command. These fixes are not invoked during
:doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.

This fix adds a force, F = - Gamma\*(velocity-fluid_velocity), to each

opposite force to the fluid).
.. note::
This fix should only be used in conjunction with one of the
built in LAMMPS integrators; it should not be used with the :doc:`fix lb/pc <fix_lb_pc>` or :doc:`fix lb/rigid/pc/sphere <fix_lb_rigid_pc_sphere>` integrators, which
already include the hydrodynamic forces. These latter fixes should
only be used if the force coupling constant has been set by the user
(instead of using the default value); if the default force coupling
value is used, then this fix provides the only method for adding the
hydrodynamic forces to the particles.
This fix adds a viscous force to each atom to cause it move with the same velocity as the fluid (an equal and opposite force is applied to the fluid via :doc:`fix lb/fluid <fix_lb_fluid>`). When :doc:`fix lb/fluid <fix_lb_fluid>` is called with the noise option, the atoms will also experience random forces which will thermalize them to the same temperature as the fluid. In this way, the combination of this fix with :doc:`fix lb/fluid <fix_lb_fluid>` and a LAMMPS integrator like :doc:`fix NVE <fix_nve>` is analogous to :doc:`fix langevin <fix_langevin>` except here the fluid is explicit. The temperature of the particles can be monitored via the scalar output of :doc:`fix lb/fluid <fix_lb_fluid>`.

This command enables LAMMPS to act as a client with another server
code to couple the two codes together to perform ab initio MD (AIMD)
simulations.
More specifically, this command causes LAMMPS to begin using the `MDI
Library <https://molssi-mdi.github.io/MDI_Library/html/index.html>`_
to run as an MDI driver (client), which sends MDI commands to an
external MDI engine code (server) which in the case of AIMD is a
quantum mechanics (QM) code, or could be LAMMPS itself, acting as a
surrogate for a QM code. See the :doc:`Howto mdi <Howto_mdi>` page
for more information about how LAMMPS can operate as either an MDI
driver or engine.
The examples/mdi directory contains input scripts performing AIMD in
this manner with LAMMPS acting as both a driver and an engine
(surrogate for a QM code). The examples/mdi/README file explains how
to launch both driver and engine codes so that they communicate using
the MDI library via either MPI or sockets. Any QM code that supports
MDI could be used in place of LAMMPS acting as a QM surrogate. See
the :doc:`Howto mdi <Howto_mdi>` page for a current list (March 2022)
of such QM codes.
The engine code can run either as a stand-alone code, launched at the
same time as LAMMPS, or as a plugin library. See the :doc:`mdi plugin
<mdi>` command for how to trigger LAMMPS to load the plugin library.
Again, the examples/mdi/README file explains how to launch both driver
and engine codes so that engine is used in plugin mode.
To use this fix with a plugin engine, you must specify the
*plugin* keyword as the last argument, as illustrated above.
.. note::
As of April 2022, the *plugin* keyword is needed. In a future
version of the MDI library it will no longer be necessary.
----------
This fix performs the timestepping portion of an AIMD simulation.
Both LAMMPS and the engine code (QM or LAMMPS) should define the same
system (simulation box, atoms and their types) in their respective
input scripts. LAMMPS then begins its timestepping.
At the point in each timestep when LAMMPS needs the force on each
atom, it communicates with the engine code. It sends the current
simulation box size and shape (if they change dynamically, e.g. during
an NPT simulation), and the current atom coordinates. The engine code
computes quantum forces on each atom and returns them to LAMMPS. If
LAMMPS also needs the system energy and/or virial, it requests those
values from the engine code as well.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
This command is part of the MDI package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :doc:`Build package
<Build_package>` page for more info.
To use LAMMPS as an MDI driver in conjunction with other MDI-enabled
atomistic codes, the :doc:`units <units>` command should be used to
specify *real* or *metal* units. This will ensure the correct unit
conversions between LAMMPS and MDI units, which the other codes will
also perform in their preferred units.
LAMMPS can also be used as an MDI driver in other unit choices it
supports, e.g. *lj*, but then no unit conversion is performed.
