A web version of Atomify LAMMPS powered by Emscripten, Codemirror and three.js. You can try it here or here.
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.
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.
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.
A precompiled version is already in the web directory.
-
Install Node.js and npm
-
Install bower
npm install -g bower
-
Open the
webdirectory in a terminal and install build prerequisites
cd web/
npm install-
Start server with
grunt
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
./build.shThis will clone LAMMPS from github.com/lammps/lammps, compile it and copy the new version of LAMMPS into the web directory.
# build the container
./build_container.sh
# compile in container
./build_in_container.shTo view the generated site, you can use any simple webserver to host the web/_site folder.
cd web/_site
python3 -m http.server
