Alternative Frameworks

OpenFold OpenFold is a PyTorch reproduction of AlphaFold. It is trainable, and has a ‘long sequences’ argument that allows you to run longer sequences that AlphaFold cannot fit into memory on single GPU. It does not support multi-GPU for model inference–only for training.

FastFold FastFold is another trainable alternative that supports multi-GPU utilization for training and model inference.

ParaFold ParaFold can be used to accelerate AlphaFold’s prediction of multiple sequences by dividing CPU (MSA and template searching) from GPU (prediction model).
