Core Algorithms
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The paper mentioned below is the best overview of LAMMPS, but there are
|
|
also publications describing particular models or algorithms implemented
|
|
in LAMMPS or complementary software that is has interfaces to. Please
|
|
see below for how to cite contributions to LAMMPS.
|
|
|
|
.. _lammps_paper:
|
|
|
|
The latest canonical publication that describes the basic features, the
|
|
source code design, the program structure, the spatial decomposition
|
|
approach, the neighbor finding, basic communications algorithms, and how
|
|
users and developers have contributed to LAMMPS is:
|
|
|
|
`LAMMPS - A flexible simulation tool for particle-based materials modeling at the atomic, meso, and continuum scales, Comp. Phys. Comm. 271, 108171 (2022) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2021.108171>`_
|
|
|
|
So a project using LAMMPS or a derivative application that uses LAMMPS
|
|
as a simulation engine should cite this paper. The paper is expected to
|
|
be published in its final form under the same DOI in the first half
|
|
of 2022. Please also give the URL of the LAMMPS website in your paper,
|
|
namely https://www.lammps.org.
|
|
|
|
The original publication describing the parallel algorithms used in the
|
|
initial versions of LAMMPS is:
|
|
|
|
`S. Plimpton, Fast Parallel Algorithms for Short-Range Molecular Dynamics, J Comp Phys, 117, 1-19 (1995). <http://www.sandia.gov/~sjplimp/papers/jcompphys95.pdf>`_

DOI for the LAMMPS source code
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The LAMMPS developers use the `Zenodo service at CERN <https://zenodo.org/>`_
|
|
to create digital object identifiers (DOI) for stable releases of the
|
|
LAMMPS source code. There are two types of DOIs for the LAMMPS source code.
|
|
|
|
The canonical DOI for **all** versions of LAMMPS, which will always
|
|
point to the **latest** stable release version is:
|
|
|
|
- DOI: `10.5281/zenodo.3726416 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3726416>`_
|
|
|
|
In addition there are DOIs for individual stable releases. Currently there are:
|
|
|
|
- 3 March 2020 version: `DOI:10.5281/zenodo.3726417 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3726417>`_
|
|
- 29 October 2020 version: `DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4157471 <https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4157471>`_
|
|
- 29 September 2021 version: `DOI:10.5281/zenodo.6386596 <https//dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6386596>`_

^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The LAMMPS website at `https://www.lammps.org/
|
|
<https://www.lammps.org>`_ is the canonical location for information
|
|
about LAMMPS and its features.
|
|
|
|
Citing contributions
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS has many features that use either previously published methods
|
|
and algorithms or novel features. It also includes potential parameter
|
|
files for specific models. Where available, a reminder about references
|
|
for optional features used in a specific run is printed to the screen
|
|
and log file. Style and output location can be selected with the
|
|
:ref:`-cite command-line switch <cite>`. Additional references are
|
|
given in the documentation of the :doc:`corresponding commands
|
|
<Commands_all>` or in the :doc:`Howto tutorials <Howto>`. So please
|
|
make certain, that you provide the proper acknowledgments and citations
|
|
in any published works using LAMMPS.
