# fix_modify AtC decomposition command

## Syntax

    fix_modify <AtC fixID> decomposition <type>

- AtC fixID = ID of fix atc instance

- decomposition = name of the AtC sub-command

- type = replicated_memory or distributed_memory

## Examples

    fix_modify AtC decomposition distributed_memory

## Description

Command for assigning the distribution of work and memory for parallel runs. With replicated_memory the nodal information is replicated on each processor, and with distributed_memory only the owned nodal information kept on each processor. The replicated_memory option is most appropriate for simulations were the number of nodes is much smaller than the number of atoms.

## Restrictions

None.
