Question-Is it possible to run the model only on CPUs? #3

Dear HEMLab Team!

Currently, I am learning how to use the Hipims model and aimed to apply this model to my study on flood inundation simulation. Recently, I have successfully set up an ap preliminary model and run the model on GPUs in a Linux operating system. However, I would like to know how much the computational time is reduced compared to the model that runs only on CPUs. Therefore, I would like to ask if the model can be configured to run only on CPUs?

I am looking forward to hearing back from you. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely, Sukim

Hi Sukim,

I am glad that pypims is working on your Linux machine. It only supports GPUs. But we did some comparisons in the past. It can be 100x faster than a model running on a single core CPU.
