| As an example you can test the following parameter files, comparing performance of GSvit on different number of CPU cores and on a single GPU on the above mentioned system. The calculation took on a single core, 1 minute 43 seconds on eight cores, and 54 seconds on the first GPU. | As an example you can test the following parameter files, comparing performance of GSvit on different number of CPU cores and on a single GPU on the above mentioned system.

| Generally, the bigger is the calculation size and problem complexity, the better GPU works comparing to CPU as the effect of administration (data transfers) is smaller. Also, too many unnecessary transfers, e.g. for image outputs at every few steps, degrade the GPU performance. | Generally, the bigger is the calculation size and problem complexity, the better GPU works comparing to CPU as the effect of administration (data transfers) is smaller.
