GPUs are not just for AI

GPUs are not just for AI. They can also be very useful for hydrological models.
To show that, I’ve created a short proof of concept demonstrating how the KernelAbstractions.jl library in the Julia ecosystem can be powerful for writing a GPU-accelerated soil-water balance model. The same code can be reused on both CPUs and GPUs, and I can experiment with the GPU in my laptop since there’s a compatibility layer for different GPU vendors.
The proof of concept is on GitHub: ArushaRecharge2.0.
