With the ever-increasing demand for atomistic structures representative of real-life systems as well as the ad-vent of exascale computers, it has now become necessary and possible to use advanced global optimization (GO) techniques to intelligently sample the potential energy surface (PES). Given the previous studies…

Recent advances in machine learning force fields (MLFF) have significantly extended the reach of atomistic simulations. Continuous progress in this field requires reliable reference datasets, accurate MLFF architectures, and efficient active learning strategies to enable robust modeling of complex molecular and…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…

Computing electrostatic interactions remains the bottleneck of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations despite more than a century of effort in developing methods to accelerate the calculation. Previously we have developed the Spherical Grid and Treecode (SGT) and Gauss-Legendre-Spherical-t (GLST) algorithms for…

Evaluation of noncovalent electrostatic interactions is the dominant bottleneck in classical molecular dynamics simulations, and evaluation of Coulombic matrix elements similarly limits quantum mechanical self consistent field calculations. These difficulties are a result of the Coulomb operator’s slow decay, which…

Exploring electronic states in actinide compounds is a critical aspect of nuclear science. However, considering relativistic effects and electron correlation in theoretical calculations poses a complex challenge. To tackle this, we developed the CASPT2/RASPT2 program along with the DIRAC program, enabling calculations…

Bayesian optimization (BO) has become increasingly important for experimental optimization across scientific domains, yet implementing BO pipelines requires significant programming expertise and familiarity with specialized frameworks. This creates a barrier for domain experts who could benefit from BO but lack the…

The complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method is essential for describing complex photochemical processes, but its application in ab initio molecular dynamics is often limited by the computational cost associated with four-center two-electron repulsion integrals (ERIs). We present the first…

The construction, management and analysis of large in silico molecular libraries is critical in many areas of modern chemistry. Herein, we introduce the MOLecular LIibrary toolkit, "molli", which is a Python 3 cheminformatics module that provides a streamlined interface for manipulating large in silico libraries.…

Investigating the molecular structure of soil organic matter (SOM), along with its intramolecular interactions and interactions with other soil components and xenobiotics, is essential due to its ecological importance. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of SOM present significant challenges for systematic…

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are essential for studying the time evolution of molecular systems. Still, their efficiency is often bottlenecked by file-based Inter-Process Communication (IPC) between MD and Electronic Structure (ES) programs. We present a socket-based IPC implementation that dramatically…

We have ported and optimized the GPU accelerated QUICK and AMBER based ab initio QM/MM implementation on AMD GPUs. This encompasses the entire Fock matrix build and force calculation in QUICK including one-electron integrals, two-electron repulsion integrals, exchange-correlation quadrature, and linear algebra…

The discovery of optimal conditions of chemical reactions is a labor-intensive, time-consuming task that requires exploring a high-dimensional parametric space. Historically the optimization of chemical reactions has been performed by manual experimentation guided by human intuition and Design of Experiments where one…

We develop a highly parallelizable algorithm to calculate long-range electrostatic interactions named the Gauss-Legendre-Spherical-t (GLST) cubature method. Motivated by our recent spherical grid and treecode method, we utilize the Gauss-Legendre quadrature for integration over a finite range and spherical t-design for…
