LAMMPS

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics package written to run well on parallel machines. The CUDA version of LAMMPS is accelerated by moving the force calculations to the GPU.

Download and Installation

• GPU LAMMPS
• The GPU LAMMPS code is MPI enabled and scales to a large GPU cluster

Benchmark Data

LAMMPS on the GPU scales very well as seen by the results below. Two Tesla GPUs running GPU-LAMMPS outperforms 24 CPUs.
