Inquiry about GPU Acceleration Support in URBANopt

[BehnamMohseniGharyehsafa]

Dear URBANopt Developers,

I hope this message finds you well. First, I would like to sincerely thank you for your excellent work and continuous efforts in developing URBANopt—it has significantly contributed to my recent research.

I am currently exploring ways to accelerate URBANopt simulations and was wondering if there is support or planned capability for running simulations using GPU acceleration?

While my recent work employed URBANopt primarily in a non-dynamic mode, my upcoming research aims to integrate dynamic simulations at community and urban scales, requiring continuous and rapid calculations for real-time decision-making.

Any guidance or insights you could provide regarding GPU compatibility or upcoming features would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Behnam Mohseni-Gharyehsafa
