The value(s) produced by this compute are all "extensive", meaning -their value scales linearly with the number of atoms involved. If -normalized values are desired, this compute can be accessed by the -thermo_style custom command with thermo_modify -norm yes set as an option.

As discussed below, for sum mode, the value(s) produced by this +compute are all "extensive", meaning their value scales linearly with +the number of atoms involved. If normalized values are desired, this +compute can be accessed by the thermo_style custom +command with thermo_modify norm yes set as an +option. Or it can be accessed by a variable that +divides by the appropriate atom count.
Output info:
-The scalar and vector values calculated by this compute are -"extensive", meaning they scale with the number of atoms in the -simulation. +
For sum mode, the scalar and vector values calculated by this +compute are "extensive", meaning they scale with the number of atoms +in the simulation. For min and max modes, the value(s) are +intensive.
