With large datasets, training on a single computer can take years. To increase efficiency, models can be trained faster in parallel. Trainees will be introduced to parallel training with Horovod and discuss parallel processing with MPI, along with submitting large-scale training jobs on ALCF systems.

Targeted Adaptive Design - Targeted Adaptive Design (TAD) is a novel probabilistic machine learning model that aims at efficiently and autonomously finding control parameters that would result in a desired design. This talk will present TAD and its application to Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD).
