   The virial calculation for pressure when using these pair styles
   includes all the components of force listed above, including the
   random force.
   random force.  Since the random force depends on random numbers,
   everything that changes the order of atoms in the neighbor list
   (e.g. different number of MPI ranks or a different neighbor list
   skin distance) will also change the sequence in which the random
   numbers are applied and thus the individual forces and therefore
   also the virial/pressure.

Styles with a *gpu*\ , *intel*\ , *kk*\ , *omp*\ , or *opt* suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
