Added

  • preprocessor macros containing the version number of metatensor-torch: METATENSOR_TORCH_VERSION, METATENSOR_TORCH_VERSION_MAJOR, METATENSOR_TORCH_VERSION_MINOR, and METATENSOR_TORCH_VERSION_PATCH.

Version 0.5.0 - 2024-05-02

Changed

  • We renamed neighbors_list to neighbor_list in all functions (#587)

metatensor-torch Python

Changed

  • The neighbor lists calculation in MetatensorCalculator (ASE calculator based on metatensor models) is now a lot faster (#586)

  • Multiple small improvements related to custom TorchScript extensions (#584)

  • There are reference output for neighbor list calculations, which should help writing interfaces to metatensor models in new simulation engines (#588)

Version 0.4.0 - 2024-04-11

metatensor-torch C++

Added

  • ModelCapabilities::dtype, used by the model to communicate the dtype it wants to use for inputs and outputs.

  • The load_model_extensions() function to facilitate loading a model using TorchScript extensions.

Changed

  • System::add_data now has an override parameter to replace custom data with a new value.

metatensor-torch Python

Changed

  • We now release wheels compatible with multiple torch versions on PyPI, removing the need to compile C++ code when installing this package.

Added

  • ModelCapabilities.dtype, used by the model to communicate the dtype it wants to use for inputs and outputs.

  • The device that should be used by a model inside the ASE’s MetatensorCalculator can now be specified by the user.

  • The load_model_extensions() and load_atomistic_model functions to facilitate loading a model using TorchScript extensions

Version 0.3.0 - 2024-03-01

metatensor-torch C++

Added

  • ModelMetadata to record metadata about a specific model such as it’s name, authors, etc.

  • Added interaction_range and supported_devices to ModelCapabilities

Changed

  • System::species has been renamed to System::types.

Version 0.2.1 - 2024-01-26

metatensor-torch C++

Added

  • Offer serialization functionality as member functions (i.e. TensorMap::load) in addition to the existing free standing functions (i.e. metatensor_torch::load) (#453)

  • In-memory serialization with TensorMap::save_buffer, TensorMap::load_buffer, and the respective free standing functions (#455)

Version 0.2.0 - 2024-01-08

metatensor-torch C++

Added

  • New classes specifically tailored for atomistic models (#405):

    • System defines the input of a model;

    • NeighborsListOptions allow a model to request a specific neighbors list;

    • ModelRunOptions, ModelOutput and ModelCapabilities allow to statically describe capabilities of a model, and request specific outputs from it.

  • TensorBlock::to, TensorMap::to, and System::to to change the device or dtype of torch Tensor stored by metatensor

  • Labels::device, TensorBlock::device and TensorMap::device; as well as TensorMap::scalar_type, and TensorBlock::scalar_type to query the current device and scalar type/dtype used by the data.

  • metatensor_torch::version function, returning the version of the code as a string.

Fixed

  • We now check that all tensors in a TensorBlock/TensorMap have the same dtype and device (#414)

  • keys_to_properties, keys_to_samples and components_to_properties now keep the different Labels on the same device (#411)

metatensor-torch Python

Added

  • New classes specifically tailored for atomistic models (#405):

    • same classes as the C++ interfaces, in metatensor.torch.atomistic

    • MetatensorAtomisticModel as a way to wrap user-defined torch.nn.Module and export them in a unified way, handling unit conversions and metadata checks.

  • ASE calculator based on MetatensorAtomisticModel in metatensor.torch.atomistic.ase_calculator. This allow using arbitrary user-defined models to run simulations with ASE.

  • TensorBlock.to, TensorMap.to and System.to to change the device or dtype of torch Tensor stored by metatensor

  • Labels.device, TensorBlock.device and TensorMap.device; as well as TensorMap.dtype, and TensorBlock.dtype to query the current device and dtype used by the data.
