Understanding times in the output log

Submitted by yesaswi92 on Thu, 02/01/2018 - 23:04

Hi,

In the output file, we find:

Pair time (%) = 0.00112569 (0.237618)
Neigh time (%) = 0.00865573 (1.8271)
Comm time (%) = 0.00514528 (1.08609)
Outpt time (%) = 0.000437766 (0.0924061)
Other time (%) = 0.458377 (96.7568)

So far, I'm assuming that they stand for the literal meanings
- Pair time: Time to find contact overlaps, forces
- Neigh time: Time to form verlet lists, sorting them and finding the neighbors
- Comm time: MPI communication time
- Outpt time: Dump and thermo commands
- Other time: Other fixes.

Can someone tell me if I am wrong and let me know their correct meaning?

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Yesaswi
