    Conclusions:

    • The mixed-precision SPDP model is recommended for implicit solvent MD simulations due to its balance of accuracy and computational efficiency.
    • GPU acceleration significantly enhances the feasibility of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations.
    • Careful consideration of numerical precision is critical for reliable simulation outcomes.
