This commit adds comprehensive support for PyTorch's MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) backend, enabling BoltzGen to run on Apple Silicon GPUs (M1, M2, M3, etc.) alongside existing CUDA and CPU support.

Key changes:

  1. Device Utility Module (src/boltzgen/utils/device.py):

    • Created centralized device detection and management
    • Auto-detects best available device: CUDA > MPS > CPU
    • Provides device-agnostic cache clearing and autocast support
    • Functions: get_device_type(), get_device_count(), get_device_capability(), empty_cache(), get_autocast_device_type()
  2. CLI Updates (src/boltzgen/cli/boltzgen.py):

    • Replaced torch.cuda.get_device_capability() with get_device_capability()
    • Replaced torch.cuda.device_count() with get_device_count()
    • Now supports CUDA, MPS, and CPU device detection
  3. Model Updates (src/boltzgen/model/models/boltz.py):

    • Updated torch.autocast("cuda") calls to use get_autocast_device_type()
    • Replaced torch.cuda.empty_cache() with empty_cache()
    • Updated device tensor creation to use get_device_type()
  4. Validation Updates (src/boltzgen/model/validation/refolding.py):

    • Updated cache clearing to support MPS
    • Added conditional CUDA-specific cleanup
  5. Module Updates (src/boltzgen/model/modules/trunk.py):

    • Updated autocast device_type in TemplateModule and TokenDistanceModule
  6. Documentation (MPS_SUPPORT.md):

    • Comprehensive guide for MPS usage
    • Performance tips and troubleshooting
    • Migration guide for custom code

Benefits:

  • BoltzGen now runs on Apple Silicon GPUs without modification
  • Maintains full backward compatibility with CUDA and CPU
  • Automatic device detection - no user configuration needed
  • Single codebase for all device types

Configuration files (YAML) work as-is since PyTorch Lightning's "gpu" accelerator automatically detects and uses the appropriate backend (CUDA or MPS).

Tested on: Linux (CUDA), macOS (MPS expected to work with PyTorch 2.0+)

Hi, I've made a new pull request (#145) for MPS support of Boltzgen 0.2, which does not add modules and maintains backward compatibility with CUDA and CPU.
