This paper proposes a novel universal architecture, Message Passing Transformer (MPT), for physical simulation using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). MPT incorporates a Message Passing framework, an Encoder-Processor-Decoder structure, and Graph Fourier Loss as the loss function. To leverage past message passing state information, Hadamard-Product Attention is introduced to update node attributes in the Processor. Additionally, Graph Fourier Loss (GFL) balances high-energy and low-energy components. To improve time performance, Laplacian eigenvectors are precomputed before training. MPT achieves significant accuracy improvements in long-term rollouts for both Lagrangian and Eulerian dynamical systems compared to current methods.

This paper is about a new way to use computers to simulate physical movements. It proposes a new architecture called Message Passing Transformer that uses Graph Neural Networks to improve the simulation’s accuracy. The architecture has three parts: an encoder, a processor, and a decoder. To help the algorithm learn from its past experiences, it uses something called Hadamard-Product Attention. Additionally, it introduces a loss function called Graph Fourier Loss to balance different components of the simulation. By precomputing certain information before training, the algorithm can run faster. The new architecture performs better than current methods in simulating physical movements over long periods.
