A Kokkos-accelerated Moment Tensor Potential implementation for LAMMPS

We present a Kokkos-accelerated implementation of the Moment Tensor Potential (MTP) for LAMMPS, designed to improve both computational performance and portability across CPUs and GPUs. This package introduces an optimized CPU variant—achieving up to 2× speedups over existing implementations—and two new GPU variants: a thread-parallel version for large-scale simulations and a block-parallel version optimized for smaller systems. It supports three core functionalities: standard inference, configuration-mode active learning, and neighborhood-mode active learning. Benchmarks and case studies demonstrate efficient scaling to million-atom systems, substantially extending accessible length and time scales while preserving the MTP’s near-quantum accuracy and native support for uncertainty quantification.
