Catalogue identifier of previous version: AEWY_v1_0
Journal reference of previous version: Comput. Phys. Comm. 196 (2015) 439
External routines: TOMS611 Unconstrained Minimization [1] included in the MEAMfit code.
Does the new version supersede the previous version?: Yes
Nature of problem: Fitting embedded atom method (EAM) and reference-free modified embedded atom method (RF-MEAM) potentials [2–3] to energies and forces produced by VASP [4–7].
Solution method: A computer program is presented which uses a conjugate-gradient minimizer paired with a genetic algorithm to fit EAM and RF-MEAM potentials to energies and/or atomic forces read directly from VASP output files. Potentials produced by the code are directly usable with the LAMMPS [8] or Camelion [9] molecular-dynamics packages.
Reasons for new version: Bugs fixed; improvements made.
Summary of revisions: Various bug fixes; speed of single-shot energy and force calculations (not optimization) increased by class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465516300303&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465516300303&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=67efc70eda5ae3e7168d003c1f6e5aed" title="Click to view the MathML source">×10class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">; elements up to Cn (class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465516300303&_mathId=si2.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465516300303&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=508093a13b80ac7a556691584b0d528c" title="Click to view the MathML source">Z=112class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">) now correctly read from vasprun.xml files; EAM fits now produce Camelion output files; changed max number of vasprun.xml files to 10,000 (an unnecessary lower limit of 10 was allowed in the previous version).

Running time: The run-time depends on the required level of accuracy of the final potential. For an EAM potential fit to 670 energies, a few hours on a single core is usually sufficient to produce a potential with class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465516300303&_mathId=si5.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465516300303&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=221209041df49292aad6e1870b6f9a16" title="Click to view the MathML source">R=12%–13%class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> (see Equation. 9 in main-text for definition). To ensure a maximally optimized potential however (class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0010465516300303&_mathId=si6.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0010465516300303&_rdoc=1&_issn=00104655&md5=2b62c43dc124597aa9bf1a0646aaf8ec" title="Click to view the MathML source">R=12%class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">), a run-time of 24 h is recommended. To optimize a RF-MEAM potential, a further 24 h should be allowed. One will already find an improvement over the EAM using just a single core, however to ensure a maximally optimized potential, one should run several instances of MEAMfit in parallel.
