LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) is a molecular dynamics simulation software package that is designed to simulate the behavior of molecules and materials under various conditions. It is a flexible and powerful tool that is widely used in scientific research and engineering applications.

LAMMPS is developed and maintained by Sandia National Laboratories, with the support of a global community of users and developers. It is an open-source software package, released under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL).

LAMMPS is written in C++ and can run on a wide range of platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can be run in parallel on multiple processors or on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.

LAMMPS is a highly modular software package, with a wide range of built-in features and capabilities. It can simulate a variety of physical systems, including atomic and molecular systems, granular materials, liquids, solids, and materials under extreme conditions. It can also be extended and customized through the use of user-defined potentials and force fields. LAMMPS is widely used in many fields, including materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. It is a valuable tool for studying the properties and behavior of materials and molecules under various conditions, as well as for designing and optimizing materials and processes.
