Line 107: <br> = Should I see 100% GPU utilisation ~~in the TUFLOW console window~~ when no other processes are running on GPU? = HPC still does a small amount of work on CPU such as the model initiation and the final step of data reduction for model volume, control numbers, and stability checks. Even in a perfect world and 2D only model it isn't possible to see 100% GPU utilisation. If there are any 1D features in the model the GPU utilisation will be even lower as 1D is processed on CPU only. A model with 1D ESTRY connection can potentially be doing a lot of work on CPU, perhaps as much as 90% CPU and 10% GPU. If the CPU hardware is not matched correctly with the GPU card it can become a bottleneck for HPC-GPU runs even with a few 1D elements. We are investigating the possibility of parallelising 1D for future releases so it is able to run on GPU.<br> <br>
