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.
