As of TUFLOW build 2017-09-AA, TUFLOW offers HPC (Heavily Parallelised Compute) as an alternate 2D Shallow Water Equation (SWE) solver to TUFLOW Classic. Whereas TUFLOW Classic is limited to running a simulation on a single CPU core, HPC provides parallelisation of the TUFLOW model allowing modellers to run a single TUFLOW model across multiple CPU cores or GPU graphics cards (which utilise thousands of smaller CUDA* cores). Simulations using GPU hardware has shown to provide significantly quicker model run times for TUFLOW users.<br>
In general, most of the functionality and features of TUFLOW Classic are available in HPC. Additionally,
* Quadtree and sub-grid sampling
* High resolution map output grids
* Groundwater infiltration and sub-surface flows
* Wu turbulence formulation
* TMR bridge inputs (2d_bg)

Line 53 ⟶ 58:
The unconditional stability and higher order accuracy of TUFLOW HPC also lends itself well to highly transient situations, such as dam break assessments, where other solvers would either become unstable, lose accuracy or experience impractical simulation slow-down due to the need to solve at an extremely small timestep.
