Table 1. Time required to compute excited state energies (10000 frames) for all bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) for TDDFT (PBE0/3-21G) and neural network (NN) predictions from correlation clustered Coulomb matrices. Reported times include neural network training (ttrain) on 4000 frames with input (tinputCoul) and target feature (ttargetE) generation, excited state calculations/predictions (tCalc) and the total time (ttot). If trained neural networks are available, only Coulomb matrices need to be calculated for neural network predictions, reducing the required time to 48 h. Reported times correspond to training a total of 12 neural networks independently to obtain ensemble averaged excited state energies. All reported times refer to calculations on a single core of an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU (X5650 @ 2.67 GHz).
