Fast parallel algorithms for short-range molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, three parallel algorithms for classical molecular dynamics are presented, which can be implemented on any distributed-memory parallel machine which allows for message-passing of data between independently executing processors.
Fast parallel algorithms for short-range molecular dynamics
TL;DR: Comparing the results to the fastest reported vectorized Cray Y-MP and C90 algorithm shows that the current generation of parallel machines is competitive with conventional vector supercomputers even for small problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
LAMMPS - a flexible simulation tool for particle-based materials modeling at the atomic, meso, and continuum scales
Yusry O. El-Dib,Aidan P. Thompson,H. Metin Aktulga,Richard A. Berger,Dan S. Bolintineanu,W. Michael Brown,Paul Stewart Crozier,Pieter J. in 't Veld,Axel Kohlmeyer,Stan Gerald Moore,Trung Dac Nguyen,Ray Shan,Mark J. Stevens,Julien Tranchida,Christian Robert Trott,Steven J. Plimpton +15 more
TL;DR: Several of the fundamental algorithms used in LAMMPS are described along with the design strategies which have made it flexible for both users and developers, and some capabilities recently added to the code which were enabled by this flexibility are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocation nucleation and defect structure during surface indentation
TL;DR: In this paper, an atomistic imaging of dislocation nucleation during displacement controlled indentation on a passivated surface is presented, where defects are located and imaged by local deviations from centrosymmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Granular flow down an inclined plane: Bagnold scaling and rheology
Leonardo E. Silbert,Deniz Ertas,Gary S. Grest,Thomas C. Halsey,Dov Levine,Steven J. Plimpton +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic, large-scale simulation study of granular media in two and three dimensions, investigating the rheology of cohesionless granular particles in inclined plane geometries, finds that a steady-state flow regime exists in which the energy input from gravity balances that dissipated from friction and inelastic collisions is found.
