General[edit]
LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code, and an acronym for Large-scale Atomic / Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator. LAMMPS is distributed by Sandia National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy laboratory. The main authors of LAMMPS are listed on this page along with contact information and other contributors. Funding for LAMMPS development has come primarily from DOE (OASCR, OBER, ASCI, LDRD, Genomes-to-Life) and is acknowledged here.
