GPU (KOKKOS)

GPU (KOKKOS) is in development for paid plans and flag-gated. It is not live. Jobs today run on CPU LAMMPS.

GPU (KOKKOS) is not live. Every job on QuickMDSim today runs the CPU LAMMPS image (stable_22Jul2025_update5, MPI + OpenMP, 1 / 2 / 4 cores). Cloudflare Containers have no GPU.

A paid GPU path is in development. It will use a separate CUDA + KOKKOS image on an external fleet (not Cloudflare), behind a feature flag. Until that flag is on for your account, the app shows a locked GPU control and the API rejects accelerator=gpu.

What is live

  • CPU LAMMPS 22 Jul 2025 with MOLECULE, COLLOID, KSPACE, MANYBODY, DIPOLE
  • 1 core for everyone; 2 / 4 cores on paid plans
  • Credits = wall seconds × requested cores

What is not live

  • No CUDA, no -k on, no -sf kk
  • No classic LAMMPS GPU package
  • No ReaxFF / MEAM / ML potentials (those are a separate compile question)

Do not add /kk suffixes or package gpu to an input expecting it to accelerate here. Those styles are not in the CPU image.

When it ships

GPU will be paid-only, flag-gated, and billed as a credit multiplier (same CPU-hour wallet — GPU spends credits faster). Supported pair styles will be allowlisted. This page will say so when that is true.

Public page: Citing LAMMPS. Runtime truth: the CPU runner is the only runner.
