Note on SLURM Usage

The src/train_from_config.py and src/test_from_config.py scripts can be run on multiple nodes and GPUs with the --multinode or -m flag. Our configs assume a configuration of 2 nodes, each with 2 GPUs. You will likely need to adjust the Slurm Launcher Parameters in the hydra.launcher section of the config to work with your system. Alternatively you can run the commands on a single gpu system without the -m flag:

python src/<train,test>_from_config -cd configs/charge3net -cn <config name> nnodes=1 nprocs=<number of GPUs to use>

However, training models with a different number of nodes/GPUs may result in different performance due to change in effective batch size.

Inference on additional CHGCAR files

Given a directory containing CHGCAR files (do not need to be at top level in directory), a set of ChargE3Net input files can be created with the following script:

python scripts/convert_chgcar_dir_to_pkl_dir.py --input <directory containing CHGCARs> --output <new directory> [--workers WORKERS]

NOTE: If there are more than 10 CHGCARs in the input directory, it is recommended to add additional workers. 5 workers is a good choice to start with.

This will add all necessary input files to the new directory specified by --output, with the following tree

/path/to/charge3net_inputs/
├── filelist.txt
├── chgcar1.npy
├── chgcar1_atoms.pkl
├── chgcar2.npy
├── chgcar2_atoms.pkl
├── path_to_chgcar3.npy
├── path_to_chgcar3_atoms.pkl
├── probe_counts.csv
└── split.json

Now, the ChargE3Net model can be used to compute charge density, with this directory as input:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net/ -cn test_chgcar_inputs.yaml input_dir=</path/to/charge3net_inputs/> -m

The model predictions will show up in the /path/to/charge3net_inputs/ directory

Test Pretrained Models

Download datasets. See Datasets for instructions for each dataset.

Materials Project:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_mp_e3_final.yaml checkpoint_path=models/charge3net_mp.pt -m

QM9:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_qm9_e3_final.yaml checkpoint_path=models/charge3net_qm9.pt -m

NMC:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_nmc_e3_final.yaml checkpoint_path=models/charge3net_nmc.pt -m

Train Models From Scratch

Download datasets. See Datasets for instructions for each dataset.

Materials Project:

python src/train_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_mp_e3_final.yaml  -m

QM9:

python src/train_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_qm9_e3_final.yaml -m

NMC:

python src/train_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net -cn train_nmc_e3_final.yaml  -m

Datasets

Materials Project

1. Use our python script to download the MP Charge Density Data (using the Materials Project API):

python download/download_materials_project.py \
	--out_path ./data/mp_raw \
	--workers WORKERS \
	--task_id_file ./data/mpid_to_task_id_map.json \
	--mpi_api_key <"Your MP API Key">

Optionally, you can exclude the task_id_file to download the latest data from materials project, including any updates to the dataset since we obtained a copy. For reproducible results, use the above call.

python download/download_materials_project.py \
	--out_path ./data/mp_raw \
	--workers WORKERS \
	--mpi_api_key <"Your MP API Key">

2. Convert the CHGCAR files to numpy and pickle files for faster reading with scripts/batch_pickle_mp_charge_density.py

python scripts/batch_pickle_mp_charge_density.py --raw_data_dir ./data/mp_raw --pkl_data_dir ./data/mp/

Additional Steps (optional)

These files are provided, but you can optionally reproduce them with the following scripts:

NOTE: The files produced by the scripts below may not yield exactly reproducible results, given changes to the materials project dataset. It is recommended to use the files provided in the data/ directory.

3. Create a list of mpids with ls ./data/mp_raw -1 > ./data/mp/filelist.txt
4. Add a probe counts file with scripts/write_mp_probe_count_file.py

python scripts/write_mp_probe_count_file.py --filelist ./data/mp_raw/filelist.txt --workers WORKERS

5. Create the datasplits with scripts/write_mp_datasplits.py

Extra Notes on Testing

Method 1 (Preferred)

A checkpoint can be tested with the following syntax:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd configs/charge3net/ -cn train_mp.yaml checkpoint_path=<checkpoint_path> <-m> <relevant overrides>

NOTE: The outputs saved from this method will not show up in the same directory tree as your checkpoint_path. They will appear in the hydra.job.name directory from configs/charge3net/train_mp.yaml. To fix this, you can override a location to save outputs within the checkpoint_path tree, like so: trainer.logger.save_dir=<some output dir>

In this case <relevant overrides> is considered to be anything that changes the model parameters, or other parameters related to testing the model. The model overrides need to match the config elements that were used to create the checkpoint at checkpoint_path. Relevant parameters might include:

• model.model.num_interactions: typically 3 for PaiNN and 6 for Schnet
• data.test_probes: 1000 for a quick test, null for all probes (full grid)
• cube_dir: directory to output density cube predictions (output as .npy arrays)

Method 2

An alternative way to test the model is to pass the output config from a training run directly.

python src/test_from_config.py -cd results/charge3net/mp/2023-05-01/12-49-14/0/.hydra/ -cn config trainer.num_nodes=1 trainer.devices=1 data.test_probes=1000 trainer.logger.save_dir=results/charge3net/mp/2023-05-01/12-49-14/0/test_0 -m

However, if running in a distributed testing fashion using slurm this method will NOT work. Paths and launcher info are located in the output hydra.yaml file, and inaccessible from the output config.yaml.

Method 3

To bypass these issues, you need to specify relevant paths and info as overrides, as so:

python src/test_from_config.py -cd results/charge3net/mp/2023-05-01/12-49-14/0/.hydra/ -cn config.yaml hydra/launcher=submitit_slurm hydra.job.name=mp hydra.run.dir=results/charge3net/mp/2023-05-01/12-49-14/0/ hydra.sweep.dir='${hydra.run.dir}' hydra.launcher.partition=gaia hydra.sweep.subdir=test hydra.launcher.nodes='${trainer.num_nodes}' hydra.launcher.tasks_per_node='${trainer.devices}' hydra.launcher.constraint=xeon-g6 +hydra.launcher.additional_parameters.gres=gpu:volta:2 trainer.num_nodes=1 trainer.devices=2 data.test_probes=1000 -m

This method can be cumbersome, but if its difficult to reference the original config and you need to run distributed testing/inference, this will work.
