Molecular dynamics simulations are typically very costly. We investigate whether optimal prediction, a method to approximate the mean solution of a large system of ordinary differential equations by a smaller system, can in principle be applied to speed up computations. A one-dimensional, solely classical model problem, describing some aspects of coating a copper layer onto a silicon crystal, is considered. Asymptotic methods are employed to approximate the high-dimensional conditional expectations, which arise in optimal prediction. Results of a comparison of the thus derived smaller system with the original system are shown.
