You have 8 atomtypes, which means 8 sigmas and 8 epsilons . Here it is just
iterating through those atomtypes, combining the sigmas and epsilons
according to the combination rule in your force field, and then calculating
and storing c6 and c12 in memory (8x8=64). I'm not sure what order it
processes things in though. Try doing some of the combining by hand and see
what matches up.
