🔬Interested in training AlphaFold3 faster, at scale, and beyond NVIDIA GPU? Now you can. AlphaFold3 is a major leap in biomolecular modeling, but behind the scenes, it introduces severe system bottlenecks: 🧠 2D EvoAttention spikes memory usage 📉 Retrieval-augmented training pipeline causes long GPU idle time ⛔ Frequent but memory-intensive ops slow everything down Today, I'm excited to announce MegaFold, a fully open-source system to make AlphaFold3 training fast, scalable, and cross-platform on both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. MegaFold delivers: ⚡ Up to 1.73x / 1.62x faster training on NVIDIA H100 / AMD MI250 🧬 Up to 1.35× longer sequences compared to PyTorch baseline Key features: 🚀 Memory-Efficient EvoAttention via portable Triton kernels 💡 Ahead-of-Time Caching to eliminate GPU idle time in retrieval pipelines 🔗 DeepFusion for reducing overhead of small but frequent memory-intensive AF3 ops 📘 Project page: supercomputing-system-ai-lab… 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2506.20686 💻 Code: github.com/Supercomputing-Sy… 🤝 MegaFold is developed in collaboration between UIUC SSAIL Lab and researchers from University of Missouri and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Kudos to the brilliant team: Hoa La, Ahan Gupta, Alex Morehead, Jianlin Cheng #AlphaFold3 #AI #ProteinFolding #Bioinformatics #AMD #Triton #CrossPlatform #OpenSource

At @icmlconf this week where I'm presenting PoseBench at the AI4Science workshop as a spotlight. I'll also give an oral presentation on RNA-FrameFlow at the SPIGM workshop (AI4Science spotlight as well!) on behalf of many amazing collaborators including @rishabh16_ and @chaitjo.
Introducing PoseBench, the first deep learning (DL) benchmark for practical protein-ligand docking, which provides actionable insights for the development of future docking methods. 🧵 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.14108 Code: github.com/BioinfoMachineLea…
