Support AlphaFold2

Open martin-steinegger opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

AlphaFold2 is heavily used by the life science community to predict protein structures. AlphaFold is written in Jax and already runs on CPUs. However, it would be amazing to have a CPU version with ggml with all the speed-ups achieved through quantization.

Deepmind has recently implemented bfloat16 inference with pretty much equivalent performance. I think further quantization should be possible and beneficial.

Additionally, having a (python) dependency-free implementation would help us a lot in ColabFold.
