This package provides derived dump styles that allow compressed file
|
|
I/O via compression libraries. This is similar to what is enabled
|
|
through using the -DLAMMPS_GZIP preprocessor flag and a *.gz suffix on
|
|
a dump file name when using a non-gz dump style (e.g. custom instead
|
|
of custom/gz), but it does not open a pipe to an external executable
|
|
that handles the compression. Instead these styles use library calls
|
|
to libraries like zlib, and thus have to be compiled using the library
|
|
header files and linked to the corresponding library. This provides an
|
|
alternative for compressed file I/O on systems where using a pipe can
|
|
cause problems, e.g. when using RDMA communication with pinned memory
|
|
like clusters with Infiniband or Myrinet.
|
|
|
|
Currently a few selected dump styles are supported for writing via
|
|
this packaging.
