Model Card for mace-universal

MACE (Multiple Atomic Cluster Expansion) is a machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) with higher order equivariant message passing. For more information about MACE formalism, please see authors' paper.

2023-08-14-mace-universal.model was trained with MPTrj data, Materials Project relaxation trajectories compiled by CHGNet authors to cover 89 elements and 1.6M configurations. The checkpoint was used for materials stability prediction on Matbench Discovery and the associated preprint.

Usage

(optional) Install Pytorch, ASE prerequisites for preferred version
Install MACE through GitHub (not through pypi)

pip install git+https://github.com/ACEsuit/mace.git

Use MACECalculator

from mace.calculators import MACECalculator
from ase import Atoms
from ase.md.npt import NPT

atoms = Atoms("NaCl")

calculator = MACECalculator(
  model_paths=/path/to/pretrained.model,
  device=device
)

atoms.calc = calculator

npt = NPT(
  atoms=atoms,
  timestep=timestep,
  temperature_K=temperature,
  externalstress=externalstress,
)

npt.run(steps)

Training Guide

Training Data

For now, please download MPTrj data from figshare. We may upload to HuggingFace Datasets in the future.

Fine-tuning

We provide an example multi-GPU training script 2023-08-14-mace-universal.sbatch, which uses 40 A100s on NERSC Perlmutter. Please see MACE multi-gpu branch for more detailed instructions.
