Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Predictive atomistic simulations are increasingly employed for data intensive high throughput studies that take advantage of constantly growing computational resources. To handle the sheer number of individual calculations that are needed in such studies, workflow management packages for atomistic simulations have been developed for a rapidly growing user base. These packages are predominantly designed to handle computationally heavy ab initio calculations, usually with a focus on data provenance and reproducibility. However, in related simulation communities, e.g., the developers of machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), the computational requirements are somewhat different: the types, sizes, and numbers of computational tasks are more diverse and, therefore, require additional ways of parallelization and local or remote execution for optimal efficiency. In this work, we present the atomistic simulation and MLIP fitting workflow management package wfl and Python remote execution package ExPyRe to meet these requirements. With wfl and ExPyRe, versatile atomic simulation environment based workflows that perform diverse procedures can be written. This capability is based on a low-level developer-oriented framework, which can be utilized to construct high level functionality for user-friendly programs. Such high level capabilities to automate machine learning interatomic potential fitting procedures are already incorporated in wfl, which we use to showcase its capabilities in this work. We believe that wfl fills an important niche in several growing simulation communities and will aid the development of efficient custom computational tasks.
