AmpTorch: Atomistic Machine-learning Package - PyTorch

AmpTorch is a PyTorch implementation of the Atomistic Machine-learning Package (AMP) code that seeks to provide users with improved performance and flexibility as compared to the original code. The implementation does so by benefiting from state-of-the-art machine learning methods and techniques to be optimized in conjunction with high-throughput supercomputers. AmpTorch is built on top of PyTorch Geometric and Skorch.

Documentation

Go to AmpTorch Documentation for installation, usage and example lookup.

Installation

Install dependencies:

  1. Ensure conda is up-to-date: conda update conda. Check the availability of gcc compiler on the machine.

  2. Create conda environment

  1. Activate the conda environment conda activate amptorch.

  2. Install the package with pip install -e .

  3. (Optional) Install pre-commit hooks if you are creating PR: pre-commit install

Usage

Configs

To train a model using amptorch, a set of configs must be specified to interact with the trainer. An exhaustive list of all possible flags and their descriptions is provided below:

  },
}

Train model

from amptorch import AtomsTrainer

trainer = AtomsTrainer(configs)
trainer.train()

Load checkpoints

Previously trained models may be loaded as follows:

trainer = AtomsTrainer(configs)
trainer.load_pretrained(path_to_checkpoint_dir)

Make predictions

predictions = trainer.predict(list_of_atoms_objects)
energies = predictions["energy"]
forces = predictions["forces"]

Construct AmpTorch-ASE calculator

To interface with ASE, an ASE calculator may be constructed as follows:

from amptorch import AmpTorch

calc = AmpTorch(trainer)
slab.set_calculator(calc)
energy = slab.get_potential_energy()
forces = slab.get_forces()
