fix_modify AtC decomposition command

Syntax

fix_modify <AtC fixID> decomposition <type>

  • AtC fixID = ID of fix atc instance

  • decomposition = name of the AtC sub-command

  • type = replicated_memory or distributed_memory

Examples

fix_modify AtC decomposition distributed_memory

Description

Command for assigning the distribution of work and memory for parallel runs. With replicated_memory the nodal information is replicated on each processor, and with distributed_memory only the owned nodal information kept on each processor. The replicated_memory option is most appropriate for simulations were the number of nodes is much smaller than the number of atoms.

Restrictions

None.

Default

replicated_memory
