Molecular Dynamics Metrics beta
This task tests how well ML force fields reproduce structural, thermodynamic, and vibrational observables of ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) at finite temperature.
Reference data: DynaMat. The combined molecular dynamics score (CMDS, higher is better) combines trajectory fidelity with rollout speed.
Leaderboard
Preliminary: the reference set and metrics are evolving, so rankings may change. Private-label energy and force errors are diagnostics, excluded from CMDS.

CMDS vs twall
This defaults to a cost-vs-fidelity Pareto: each model's total rollout wall time against its CMDS, with marker size showing model parameters and color the training-set size. Use the axis/color/size selectors to compare any pair of metrics: the RDF, ADF and vDOS errors range from 0% (perfect match with the AIMD reference) to 100% (as different from the reference as an ideal gas / non-overlapping distributions).

Data by Gawkowski et al.
Ab-initio NVT trajectories span metals, alloys, perovskites, molecular crystals, and transition-metal dichalcogenides. They test structural, thermodynamic, and vibrational observables at finite temperature.
Public trajectories omit energies and forces. These withheld labels are used only for maintainer-computed diagnostics, outside CMDS.

Methodology
Simulation protocol, reference data, and metric definitions
Each model runs NVT simulations from the same initial structures and thermodynamic conditions as the reference first-principles trajectories. The resulting trajectories are compared via radial distribution functions (RDF), angular distribution functions (ADF), pressure distributions from the stress tensor trace, and the vibrational density of states (vDOS) obtained from the velocity autocorrelation function. Energy-fluctuation and force RMSEs are shown as maintainer-computed private-label diagnostics when available, but they are excluded from CMDS.
The DynaMat reference set spans pure metals, alloys, high-entropy alloys, transition-metal dichalcogenides, perovskites, and molecular crystals at finite temperature. Contributions to expand its coverage are welcome. The public reference data intentionally omits energies and forces. Use the shared runner, models/run_md.py, to evaluate your model and submit its metrics via PR.
