about the scale of lammps-gpu

Hello,Mike Brown

My name is Wang。There are two gpu cards on my computer,tesla C2075 and C1060.I want to know the maximum scale of the lammps-gpu.Because when I use the gpu/morse on my computer,the scale is only 400000.Can you tell me some methods to improve my scale.At first,we want to use tersoff,but,it is not suppored at present.When will the tersoff be added to the lammps-gpu.Here is the input- file,I don’t know whether there are some problems in it.

Forwarding this to Mike.
What does scale = 400K mean?
There is a tersoff in the USER-CUDA package
you can try.

Hi Andy

you question is not very clear. Do you mean with scale what the largest system is you can run on a single C2075? Pairing the C1060 and the C2075 is nothing you should try to do. I am also not sure whether the GPU package does support that considering that they are from two totally different GPU Generations. That said, the number of atoms per GPU is usually limited by the size of the neighborlist. There is no artificial limit on the number of atoms you can put on a GPU otherwise (except maybe for the integers only supporting values up to about two billion, limiting your total number of atoms maybe to something like 500 million or so - but I doubt that anyone tested that).

The USER-CUDA package has already Tersoff support btw. and you can run simulations with a bit more than 2,000,000 atoms with it.

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by "scale" here. Can you explain?

I do not yet have an eta of 3-body potentials for gpu.

Thanks. - Mike
