Line 39:
The resources tab at the top of the dialog is to specify the machine limits for the number of GPU cards and CPU threads. These will generally only be limiting if you are running both TUFLOW and TUFLOW FV at the same time. Otherwise, model specific limitations will prevent exceeding these limits.
TUFLOW and TUFLOW FV each have their own tab to specify executable locations and configuration parameters. For each configuration, you can choose whether to run with one or more GPUs and how many CPU threads to make available. These settings will override settings specified in the input files (for TUFLOW this requires that the "write hardware flags" is specified and you are using 2023-03-AB release or later). Because TUFLOW may use multiple threads during the initial setup phase but a GPU card during the hydraulic calculations when doing GPU simulations, it is recommended to set the number of CPU threads to the number of cores available on the machine
If you have 2 GPUs and 24 threads available with licenses to support them, the configurations could be setup multiple ways to maximum the complete resources:
