TorchMD. Molecular dynamics with pytorch

TorchMD

About

TorchMD intends to provide a simple to use API for performing molecular dynamics using PyTorch. This enables researchers to more rapidly do research in force-field development as well as integrate seamlessly neural network potentials into the dynamics, with the simplicity and power of PyTorch.

TorchMD uses chemical units consistent with classical MD codes such as ACEMD, namely kcal/mol for energies, K for temperatures, g/mol for masses, and Å for distances.

TorchMD is currently WIP so feel free to provide feedback on the API or potential bugs in the GitHub issue tracker.

License

Note. All the code in this repository is MIT, however we use several file format readers that are taken from Moleculekit which has a free open source non-for-profit, research license. This is mainly in torchmd/run.py. Moleculekit is installed automatically being in the requirement file. Check out Moleculekit here: https://github.com/Acellera/moleculekit

Installation

We recommend installing TorchMD in a new python environment ideally through the Miniforge package manager.

mamba create -n torchmd
mamba activate torchmd
mamba install pytorch python=3.10 -c conda-forge
pip install "torchmd[full]" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126
# Instead of the full installation you can also choose to only install the bare minimum dependencies with
pip install torchmd --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126

Examples

Various examples can be found in the examples folder on how to perform dynamics using TorchMD.
