Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are critical tools for modeling the physical behavior of materials at atomic and molecular scales. However, widely used MD simulators such as LAMMPS [1] suffer from performance when the amount of inter-chip communication increases due to the MPI-based parallelized...
