Material Simulation Runner

Run DFT, MD, or ML surrogate simulations for material properties.

by Aigarth HPC

Run DFT, molecular dynamics, or ML surrogate simulations for material properties. Routes to VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, GROMACS, MACE, or Allegro based on the request. Returns predicted properties (band gap, formation energy, bulk modulus) with uncertainty. Stub backend returns deterministic placeholder values; real engine integration ships in Phase 2.

Deploy is a Phase 0 stub. Real per-stage cost, MLIP surrogate, and on-chain attribution ship in Phase 2.

What it does

One sentence. The capability the ANN exposes, and the one thing it does really well.

Capability

Run a DFT relaxation on a small unit cell, return formation energy ± uncertainty.

Try it

A realistic example input. The output you see on this page is from a Phase 0 stub backend. The format, latency, and cost are real, the data is illustrative.

Real engine integration ships in Phase 2. The wire format here is what the real response will look like.
