We often get asked about the optimum computing setup to run TUFLOW models. While every model is different and will interact differently with your hardware there is some general advice that we can offer. In the sections below you will find more detailed advice on GPU and CPU but generally:<br>
 
* The amount of RAM in yourthe computer will be the limiter for the size of model you can run. This applies to CPU RAM (TUFLOW Classic, TUFLOW FV and TUFLOW HPC with Hardware == CPU) and also GPU RAM (TUFLOW HPC and TUFLOW FV with Hardware == GPU).
* The processing speed of yourthe CPU, the architecture, cache size, speed and number of processors play a role.
* For GPU simulations, the number of CUDA cores, the core speed, GPU card architecture, memory speed and interfacing with the motherboard PCI lanes and CPU are all important.
* The system must be well cooled to avoid throttling.<br>
