EquiformerV2: Improved Equivariant Transformer for Scaling to Higher-Degree Representations

Paper

This repository contains the official PyTorch implementation of the work "EquiformerV2: Improved Equivariant Transformer for Scaling to Higher-Degree Representations". We provide the code for training the base model setting on the OC20 S2EF-2M and S2EF-All+MD datasets.

Additionally, EquiformerV2 has been incorporated into OCP repository and used in Open Catalyst demo.

Environment Setup

Environment

See here for setting up the environment.

OC20

The OC20 S2EF dataset can be downloaded by following instructions in their GitHub repository.

For example, we can download the OC20 S2EF-2M dataset by running:

    cd ocp
    python scripts/download_data.py --task s2ef --split "2M" --num-workers 8 --ref-energy

We also need to download the "val_id" data split to run training.

After downloading, place the datasets under datasets/oc20/ by using ln -s:

    cd datasets
    mkdir oc20
    cd oc20
    ln -s ~/ocp/data/s2ef s2ef

To train on different splits like All and All+MD, we can follow the same link above to download the datasets.

Training

OC20

1. We train EquiformerV2 on the OC20 S2EF-2M dataset by running:

       sh scripts/train/oc20/s2ef/equiformer_v2/equiformer_v2_N@12_L@6_M@2_splits@2M_g@multi-nodes.sh

   The above script uses 2 nodes with 8 GPUs on each node.

   If there is an import error, it is possible that ocp/ocpmodels/common/utils.py is not modified. Please follow here for details.

   We can also run training on 8 GPUs on 1 node:

       sh scripts/train/oc20/s2ef/equiformer_v2/equiformer_v2_N@12_L@6_M@2_splits@2M_g@8.sh

2. We train EquiformerV2 (153M) on OC20 S2EF-All+MD by running:

       sh scripts/train/oc20/s2ef/equiformer_v2/equiformer_v2_N@20_L@6_M@3_splits@all+md_g@multi-nodes.sh

   The above script uses 16 nodes with 8 GPUs on each node.

3. We train EquiformerV2 (31M) on OC20 S2EF-All+MD by running:

       sh scripts/train/oc20/s2ef/equiformer_v2/equiformer_v2_N@8_L@4_M@2_splits@all+md_g@multi-nodes.sh

   The above script uses 8 nodes with 8 GPUs on each node.

File Structure

1. nets includes code of different network architectures for OC20.
2. scripts includes scripts for training models on OC20.
3. main_oc20.py is the code for training, evaluating and running relaxation.
4. oc20/trainer contains code for the force trainer as well as some utility functions.
5. oc20/configs contains config files for S2EF.

Checkpoints

We provide the checkpoints of EquiformerV2 trained on S2EF-2M dataset for 30 epochs, EquiformerV2 (31M) trained on S2EF-All+MD, and EquiformerV2 (153M) trained on S2EF-All+MD.

Model	Split	Download	val force MAE (meV / Å)	val energy MAE (meV)
EquiformerV2	2M	checkpoint | config	19.4	278
EquiformerV2 (31M)	All+MD	checkpoint | config	16.3	232
EquiformerV2 (153M)	All+MD	checkpoint | config	15.0	227
