Facts
- Purpose
- HOOMD-TF is a plugin that enables TensorFlow in HOOMD-blue simulations.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Use cases
- The docs describe online force matching, online machine learning in HOOMD-blue simulations, and collective-variable calculations using TensorFlow tensor operations.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- GPU execution
- The project is designed to reduce latency with GPU-to-GPU communication between GPU-accelerated HOOMD-blue and TensorFlow.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Built-in utilities
- Listed built-ins include RDF calculation, EDS biasing, and coarse-grained simulation force matching.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Model interface
- Users build Keras models as SimModel subclasses, with particle neighbor lists, positions, and box data available as tensors.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Molecule batching
- MolSimModel can arrange positions, neighbor lists, and forces by molecule, including molecules of different sizes.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Training
- Models can be trained during a simulation using HOOMD-blue forces as labels, with an option to train periodically rather than every step.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Memory control
- For models without molecule batching, tfcompute.attach accepts batch_size to split work into smaller batches for simulations with limited GPU memory.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Requirements
- The compilation guide lists Python 3.6 or later, TensorFlow 2.3 or later, and HOOMD 2.6.0 or later as requirements.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Known compatibility constraint
- The guide says TensorFlow and HOOMD must use matching CUDA toolkit versions for GPU use, and recommends compiling HOOMD-blue for GPU mode because of CUDA version mismatches on conda.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
- Latest documented release
- The changelog lists version 2.4, dated 2021-07-26, with the ability to compute mapped neighbor lists and positions while a simulation runs.hoomd-tf.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
