The benchmark models in these tests are 2D only models or 1D-2D models which utilise TUFLOW 1D ESTRY engine. The speed up is due to 2D calculations being distributed across multiple processors and undertaken in parallel. The impact of the parallel processing is also seen in integrated 1D-2D models. As well as its own 1D engine which allows the modelling and integration of pipe network models and river models together with a 2D domain, TUFLOW can also be integrated with a range of other 1-Dimensional software including <u>[https://www.floodmodeller.com/ Flood Modeller Pro]</u> amongst others.
 
==Flood Modeller Pro-TUFLOW Benchmarking==
 
A common query is what is the speed up of running simulations utilising TUFLOW HPC and GPU technology when TUFLOW models are linked to external 1D schemes such as Flood Modeller Pro. Therefore, some benchmarking runs of linked Flood Modeller Pro-TUFLOW models have been undertaken to demonstrate the show the impact of running the linked models with the TUFLOW HPC solver on a single processor, multiple cores as well as utilizingutilising Nvidia GPU cards. The outputs from these tests have been compared against the TUFLOW Classic engine which due the various inter-dependencies in the matrix solver cannot distribute calculations across multiple processors.
 
The benchmark simulations have been undertaken internally and unfortunately due to model licensing issues cannot be supplied externally. However, if you would like to test your own Flood Modeller Pro-TUFLOW models on TUFLOW HPC GPU, we would be happy to run them on our machines to demonstrate the potential speed up. The models are real world example models typical of the kind that Flood Modeller Pro and TUFLOW are used on.
