Since October of 2009, many new features have been added to lammps, a powerful simulation software developed at Sandia national laboratories. I can’t list all of them, but you can find a patch list at here. Data manipulation and output for diagnostic or analysis purposes has been improved by introducing some new computes, such as compute */local, compute */molecule, compute reduce, fix ave/histo.  New feature for visualizer interaction (fix imd) has been implemented. This promotes lammps to be an dispensable simulation engine in the tool chain of simulation work. New algorithms were also integrated, such as PRD and hessian free energy minimizer. The development of lammps keeps very active. It’s absolutely the first choice for my work.
