Atomify LAMMPS Online

A web version of Atomify LAMMPS powered by Emscripten, Codemirror and three.js. You can try it here or here.

What is LAMMPS?

LAMMPS (lammps.sandia.gov, github.com/lammps/lammps) is a high performance molecular dynamics code written in C++. It is an acronym for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator. With Emscripten, an LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler, it isn't too hard to compile LAMMPS into asm.js (a subset of Javascript) so it can run in any browser.

What is Atomify LAMMPS?

Atomify LAMMPS (ovilab.net/atomify, github.com/computationalphysics/atomify-lammps) is an editor for LAMMPS with realtime visualization of atom positions and live plotting of physical quantities.

Requirements

To run the precompiled version, you only need a simple web server. An example is i.e. Node.js and the server.js file in the web directory. See instructions below.

How to run using Node.js

A precompiled version is already in the web directory.

• Install Node.js and npm

• Install bower

  npm install -g bower

• Open the web directory in a terminal and install build prerequisites

cd web/
npm install

• Start server with

  grunt

• Open http://127.0.0.1:8080

Build instructions

You will need the Emscripten compiler (instructions in the link). Once you have that, just open the directory containing this README.md file and run

python setup.py install

This will clone LAMMPS from github.com/lammps/lammps, compile it and copy the new version of LAMMPS into the web directory.
