Fig. 11. Using the model trained on many small porous graphene sheets, we used a multi-node implementation of TensorFlow to perform inference on larger systems. At over 400 000 atoms, we achieve better-than-linear scaling, even with only typical gigabit ethernet interconnect. In theory, since the evaluation of an EDNN is perfectly subdivisible into separate parts, with the only communication cost incurred during the final summation, scaling to large system sizes should be parallel. In practice, overhead is incurred in the distribution of input data, but we achieve impressive scaling nonetheless.
