is there a way to train a ML model on multiple laptops?

I have two laptops and want to use both for the DL model training. I don't have any experience in distributed systems and want to know is it possible to use the processing power of two laptops together to train a single model. What about tf.distribute.experimental.ParameterServerStrategy? Will it be of any use?

Yes, you can use multiple devices for training your model and you need to have cluster and worker configuration to be done on both the devices like below.

tf_config = {
    'cluster': {
        'worker': ['localhost:12345', 'localhost:23456']
    },
    'task': {'type': 'worker', 'index': 0}
}

This Tutorial from Tensorflow on Multi-worker training with Keras will show you all the details about the configuration and training your model.

Hope this answers your question.
