I ran a small model twice, with and without GPU acceleration. The GPU simulation was slower than the CPU simulation. How come?

While GPU acceleration usually speeds up a simulation, it’s actually slower when running small models. This is related to the GPU architecture, which is less efficient whenever only a small fraction of the available threads can be utilized.

Our engineers will help you select and calibrate appropriate project simulations to best determine whether Impetus Solver is the best fit for your needs.
