gpumd-mdi executable:

Introduced an independent MDI (MolSSI Driver Interface) integration for GPUMD, which can be used to perform QM/MM simulations.#1379

gpumd executable:

  • Improved the minimum fire keyword to give more robust results for small cells. #1394
  • Improved the output header for the rdf.out file generated by using the compute_rdf keyword. #1388
  • Improved the compute_phonon keyword, making the inputs much simpler. #1389
  • Improved the input parameter check for the compute_msd keyword. #1376
  • Fixed a bug for qNEP with Ewald summation in NPT simulation. #1382
  • Extended the add_spring keyword. #1378
  • Extended the compute_cohesive and the compute_elastic keywords, making the latter applicable to general systetms. #1386
