We report on simulation technique and benchmarks for molecular dynamics simulations of the relaxation processes in solids and liquids using the graphics processing units (GPUs). The implementation of a many-body potential such as the embedded atom method (EAM) on GPU is discussed. The benchmarks obtained by LAMMPS and HOOMD packages for simple Lennard-Jones liquids and metals using EAM potentials are presented for both Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs. As an example the crystallization rate of the supercooled Al melt is computed.
