arXiv:2606.02455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) is a key tool for simulating the dynamical behavior of atomic systems. However, MD is inherently serial, which makes it difficult to increase single-system throughput with concurrent compute. To address this, we introduce Langevin Speculative Dynamics (LSD), a distributed and model-agnostic speculative sampler for accelerating MD without adding relative error. Inspired by speculative methods in language and diffusion modeling, LSD uses a draft model to propose fast simulation steps and verifies them in parallel with a slow
