No GPU support for MEAM potential Files?

LAMMPS LAMMPS Installation
1

Hello everyone, I enabled CUDA support in LAMMPS and was running simulations using EAM potential files. Now, when I started to do calculation using an MEAM potential file, the simulation is not utilizing GPU support. Instead, it uses CPU for computing, which takes longer simulation time.
I got to know that its not using GPU details as it was not showing any details related to GPU settings etc. it used to show (mentioned below).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Using acceleration for eam/alloy:
-  with 1 proc(s) per device.
-  Horizontal vector operations: ENABLED
-  Shared memory system: No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device 0: NVIDIA RTX A2000 12GB, 26 CUs, 12/12 GB, 1.2 GHZ (Mixed Precision)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, the simulation took longer time to complete.

The lammps version I am using is 27 Jun 2024. The command I am using for running simulation is,

lmp_machine -sf gpu -pk gpu 1 -in in.script

Am I missing anything trivial?

Thanks

Where in the LAMMPS documentation does it say that pair style meam is supported by the GPU package?

Thanks for clarifying.

Use the KOKKOS package instead, it supports MEAM and runs on GPUs.
