In atomistic simulations, pseudo-dynamics relaxation schemes often exhibit better performance and accuracy in finding local minima than line-search-based descent algorithms like steepest descent or conjugate gradient. Here, an improved version of the fast inertial relaxation engine (FIRE) and its implementation within the open-source code LAMMPS is presented. It is shown that the correct choice of time integration scheme and minimization parameters is crucial for performance.
