Indeed, 2.5e11 cells are an extremely large problem. You will need 19 TB of GPU memory for the lattice alone (without any overhead). You will need access to a large fraction of a large GPU cluster for this.

Heterogeneous processing (dividing the lattice between CPUs and GPUs) is supported by OpenLB but load balancing in this context is a work in progress (I actually talked about this last week at the DSFD conference).

I can aid you in getting the heterogeneous setup running but whether this is an advantage for you heavily depends on the specific application. I would recommend to focus on multi GPU only execution for now. (With a problem size orders of magnitude smaller for local workstation usage).
