* TUFLOW HPC - Run on GPU Hardware: The parallel processing is being done on the GPU card. However, TUFLOW HPC-GPU still uses the CPU for model initialisation and for 1D calculations. If multiple GPU cards are used, TUFLOW will use the equivalent number of CPU threads for controlling the GPUs and migrating data. So for a machine dedicated to HPC-GPU modelling, the number of CPU cores should be higher than the number of installed GPUs.
* TUFLOW HPC - Run on CPU Hardware: HPC model can also be run on multiple CPU cores. For the comparison of simulation speed, please refer to [[Hardware_Benchmarking_Topic_HPC_on_CPU_vs_GPU | HPC on CPU vs GPU]].
* TUFLOW Classic: TUFLOW Classic simulation can only use one CPU core due to the implicit nature of the numerical solution
