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.
