Acceleration of diffusive molecular dynamics simulations through mean field approximation and subcycling time integration

•Two numerical methods are presented to accelerate DMD simulations.•The methods greatly reduce the computation time without much loss of accuracy.•The accelerated DMD model is capable of simulating long-term mass transport at atomistic length scales.•Demonstrated for the propagation of an atomically...
