Line 1: =Introduction= AsSince ~~of TUFLOW build~~the 2017-09-AA version, 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> TUFLOW HPC is now industry standard. While TUFLOW Classic is still supported, it is recommended to use TUFLOW HPC. TUFLOW Classic is limited to running a simulation on a single CPU core, whereas 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, HPC offers several advanced features not supported in Classic, including:
