Dear LAMMPS developers:
My timestep is 0.001ps,can I run 10^12 steps?what is the longest time that LAMMPS can run?
Best wishes
Sincerely yours
Mi junxia
LAMMPS will run as many steps as you tell it to.
You need to benchmark your simulation using short runs to see how LAMMPS is performing - that will give you an idea of how many steps you can expect to run in a given time. The simulation output contains the number of seconds taken for each run (the “Loop time” statement after a run ends).
Dear LAMMPS developers:
My timestep is 0.001ps,can I run 10^12 steps?
yes.
what is the longest time that LAMMPS can run?
practically infinity. the time step counter in a normal LAMMPS
executable is a 64-bit integer and thus can count up to 2^63
but you can also use reset_timestep 0 and then continue with no
interruption. chances are that you will run out of patience or your
computer will fall apart before LAMMPS is done.
