I sincerely appreciate your guidance and support. I have recently started working with OpenLB and have been enthusiastically following the user-guide and actively monitoring the forum discussions.

You are absolutely right. Despite assigning 16 cores (mpirun -np 16) and allowing the simulation to run for over 2 hours, with iterations proceeding as expected, the process remains computationally intensive and time-consuming.

I’m also facing another challenge in this regard. Due to the above, I intend to run the simulation using my RTX 4050 GPU with CUDA. I have carefully studied all the relevant sections on parallel computing in the user-guide and followed them step by step without encountering any errors.
I have successfully managed to run some of examples using this approach. But I’m encountering errors and warnings when attempting to run certain examples (especially gasStorage2d) that involve GPU computing (in the make step).

I would greatly appreciate any guidance you could provide on this matter.
