Mantaflow Running on the GPU

Hi everyone, i was thinking that simulating with the GPU (like in Realflow or Turbulence FD) could really speed up the simulation time. of course the resolution of the sim is bottlenecked by your GPU memory.

Maybe even using multiple GPU's for one simulation: each one taking a chunck of all the frames that need to be simulated. And also it would be nice to have an estimated cache file size before running the whole simulation like with the previous sim engine in Blender.

Have a Good Day!

As far as I know. Being able to parallelize simulations in large numbers of cores (like the GPU have) is extremely complicated.
