SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Running production molecular dynamics simulations is complex and error-prone, requiring careful management of equilibrated checkpoints, HPC submission, and toolchains. This skill provides an automated end-to-end workflow to streamline production runs from eq checkpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports explicit and implicit solvent production workflows with the MDClaw CLI.
  • Manages node-based workflows including creation of prod nodes, checkpoint restarts, and optional HPC submission.
  • Provides clear guidance for extension from existing eq/prod branches and safe restart logic.

Quick Start

Start a production run by selecting a completed eq node and issuing the appropriate mdclaw command to generate a prod node and run the desired simulation time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run production molecular dynamics simulations from an equilibrated checkpoint?

To run production molecular dynamics simulations from an equilibrated checkpoint, select a completed eq node and issue the appropriate mdclaw command to generate a prod node and run the desired simulation time.

Does this production MD workflow support HPC submission and Slurm?

Yes, this production MD workflow supports HPC submission, including checkpoint restart and DAG-based node management across eq and prod nodes, using HPC-ready workflows.

Can I use OpenMM backends for explicit and implicit solvent production runs?

Yes, you can use OpenMM backends for explicit and implicit solvent production workflows, managed through the MDClaw CLI with configurable execution modes.

What is the best way to restart a production MD run from a checkpoint?

The best way to restart a production MD run from a checkpoint is using the safe restart logic provided by the DAG-based node management, which handles checkpoint-based restarts across eq and prod nodes.

Do I need the MDClaw CLI to manage node-based production MD workflows?

Yes, you need the MDClaw CLI to manage node-based production MD workflows, as it handles the creation of prod nodes, checkpoint restarts, and optional HPC submission.

Are there configurable execution modes for autonomous production MD workflows?

Yes, there are configurable execution modes to handle autonomous or human-in-the-loop workflows, providing clear guidance for extension from existing eq/prod branches.
