Researchers have developed Tessera, a distributed runtime system designed to significantly enhance the scale and efficiency of molecular dynamics simulations. By employing an equivariant message-passing Transformer architecture, Tessera can predict molecular behavior at a linear cost, enabling simulations of tens of millions of atoms. The system addresses communication bottlenecks by sorting atoms into equal-count shards and reusing CUDA Graphs, achieving high weak-scaling efficiency on large GPU clusters and enabling unprecedented simulation lengths for complex systems like the Norovirus capsid.
