📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesExtended-XYZ training data
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds direct extxyz dataset materialization and persistent caching, but the current implementation can allow cross-user cache interference, fail healthy multi-rank conversions after a fixed timeout, hang on malformed input, and make unrelated model commands depend on training-data files. These issues can cause data contamination, training failures, hangs, or command failures, so merge should wait for fixes. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Pull request overview
Adds first-class support for using labeled .xyz / .extxyz files directly as training/validation datasets by materializing them (via dpdata) into deterministic, cached DeePMD NumPy systems during config normalization and system-path expansion. This integrates the new data source across backends without duplicating data-loader implementations.
Changes:
- Add backend-independent extxyz conversion + persistent cache/manifest handling, and integrate it into
argcheck.normalize()andprocess_systems(). - Promote
dpdata>=1.1.0to a core dependency and update CLI/schema docs to document extxyz behavior and constraints. - Add focused regression tests covering conversion correctness, caching, heterogeneous splitting, and end-to-end training/validation initialization.

Inline comments:
In `@deepmd/utils/argcheck.py`:
- Around line 6546-6553: Update normalize_extxyz_training_data and its caller so
extxyz file materialization occurs only for training-data normalization, while
generic normalize—including check=False—remains side-effect-free. Ensure
checkpoint/model configuration paths such as change_bias and compress do not
require extxyz files or wait on cache locks, using an explicit opt-in if needed.
In `@deepmd/utils/data_conversion.py`:
- Around line 56-60: Update _cache_root so the default temporary cache path
includes the current user before the existing deepmd-kit/extxyz components,
while preserving the configured _CACHE_ENV path behavior unchanged.
- Around line 347-369: Update the lock-wait loop around _valid_cache and
_write_cache so lock liveness is based on mtime progress: extend the timeout
deadline whenever the lock directory’s mtime advances, while retaining
stale-lock handling. Ensure the lock holder refreshes the lock mtime
periodically during _write_cache so long conversions keep waiting ranks alive.
- Around line 214-216: Update the frame-skipping loop around natoms in the
data-conversion parser to stop immediately when stream.readline() returns an
empty string, while preserving normal skipping and frame_index advancement for
valid frames.

Gate extxyz materialization to training-data normalization. deepmd/tf/entrypoints/change_bias.py and deepmd/tf/entrypoints/compress.py normalize checkpoint/model configurations, although these paths do not need the original training files. A missing extxyz file or an active cache lock can therefore make these commands fail or wait unnecessarily. Keep generic normalize, including check=False, side-effect-free, or add an explicit opt-in for extxyz materialization.

Isolate the default cache root per user.
The default cache root is a fixed path under the shared system temp directory. On a multi-user host, the first user creates deepmd-kit/extxyz and its permissions follow that user's umask. Two consequences follow. Other users can get permission errors when they materialize a cache. A local user can also pre-create a digest directory and a matching manifest, so another user's training run consumes planted systems instead of converting the source file.
Add the current user to the default path.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Stop the frame-skip loop at end of file.
natoms comes straight from the file and is not bounded. If a frame header carries a corrupt count, range(natoms) iterates that many times while readline() returns "". A single bad count line makes the validation pass hang long before dpdata can report the malformed syntax.
Break out of the loop when readline() returns an empty string.

The fixed 600 s wait fails multi-rank runs on large inputs.
process_systems runs on every rank, so every rank calls materialize_extxyz for the same source. One rank converts and the others wait here. _LOCK_TIMEOUT is a fixed 600 s measured from the first wait. If the conversion of a large extended-XYZ file takes longer than 10 minutes, every waiting rank raises TimeoutError and the training job fails while the conversion is still progressing normally.
Treat progress, not elapsed time, as the liveness signal. Extend the deadline whenever the lock directory's mtime advances, and have the holder refresh that mtime during conversion.

Thanks for your contribution. However, several months ago, we decided that the conversion should:
- accept any format supported by dpdata (see #5237), rather than only extxyz; and
- always use deepmd/lmdb as the target format, given its superior performance.

Summary
Add first-class support for using labeled
.xyzand.extxyzfiles directlyas DeePMD-kit training and validation datasets.
Users can now write:
{ "training": { "training_data": { "systems": [ "data/train_part_1.extxyz", "data/train_part_2.xyz" ], "batch_size": "auto" }, "validation_data": { "systems": ["data/validation.extxyz"], "batch_size": "auto" } } }No separate conversion command or modification of the input JSON is required.
Implementation
This insertion point covers TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, PaddlePaddle, PyTorch Exportable, and TensorFlow 2 without adding separate extxyz parsers to their data loaders.
Labels and units
The conversion supports:
Stress is converted using:
Six-component stress uses ASE Voigt order:
xx yy zz yz xz xyNine-component stress is interpreted in row-major tensor order. Unit metadata supported by dpdata is converted to DeePMD's eV/angstrom conventions.
Missing energy or forces produces a descriptive frame-specific error. Virial or usable stress is required when the configured loss has a nonzero virial prefactor.
Partially periodic inputs such as
pbc="T T F"are rejected because traditional DeePMD NumPy systems cannot represent per-axis PBC.Heterogeneous inputs
Frames are grouped deterministically in first-occurrence order by:
Compatible atom layouts are canonicalized through dpdata while preserving coordinate/force correspondence.
If one extxyz file expands into multiple internal systems, configurations using list-valued batch_size, explicit sys_probs, or indexed auto_prob blocks are rejected because their per-input mapping would be ambiguous.
Lists may mix extxyz files with existing DeePMD system directories. Mixing extxyz and LMDB in the same list is rejected because the existing LMDB path uses scalar-path semantics.
Caching
Converted data is stored in a persistent DeePMD NumPy cache under the platform temporary directory, configurable through DEEPMD_EXTXYZ_CACHE.
The cache key includes:
Cache publication uses a per-key lock and atomic directory rename. The source hash is checked again after conversion so a file modified during conversion is not published under a stale key. rglob_patterns continues to apply only to DeePMD directory discovery. Arbitrary .xyz files beneath a parent directory are not discovered implicitly, while explicitly listed extxyz files are not filtered by those patterns.
Compatibility
Existing behavior remains unchanged for:
-DeePMD NumPy systems;
ASE remains optional and is not required for extxyz training.
Tests
Added focused coverage for:
Validation performed:
The native editable build was not completed on the test machine because its Windows environment lacks nmake and a C++ compiler. The PyTorch smoke test used the Python fallback with custom C++ operators disabled.
