The development of SPPARKS has been funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), through its LDRD program.


The original chief authors of SPPARKS are Steve Plimpton and Aidan Thompson and Alex Slepoy. They are at Sandia National Labs and can be contacted at sjplimp at sandia.gov and athomps at sandia.gov.
