Issue with Snap and Kokkos simulation

Hello to everyone,

I’m trying to do an example simulation with snap potentials and kokkos, but the simulation sends an error.
I have the latest Lammps with Kokkos, my GPU is a Nvidia with Pascal architecture. I try to run the in.snap.Ta06A example.
The error in terminal is this

ERROR: Pair style SNAP requires newton pair on (src/KOKKOS/pair_snap_kokkos_impl.h:102)
Last command: run ${nsteps}

Primary job terminated normally, but 1 process returned
a non-zero exit code. Per user-direction, the job has been aborted.


mpirun detected that one or more processes exited with non-zero status, thus causing
the job to be terminated. The first process to do so was:

Process name: [[18635,1],0]
Exit code: 1

I already try to reinstall Lammps with Kokkos and Snap, but the problem continues.

Greetings and thank you

The error is self-explanatory if you read the documentation. When you run the command to start the simulation, you have to turn on Newton pair calculations.

OMG, thank you a lot!!!

It also looks like you compiled for Kokkos_ARCH equals Pascal60, but it should be Pascal61

For SNAP you need:

-pk kokkos neigh half newton on as mentioned above.

Thank you a lot, i watched the reply just today. I will change the compiled.
