We parallelized WRF major physics routines for Nvidia GP-GPUs with CUDA Fortran. GP-GPUs are originally designed for graphic processing, but show high performance with low electricity for calculating numerical models. In the CUDA environment, a data domain is allocated into thread blocks and threads in each thread block are computing in parallel. We parallelized the WRF program to use of thread blocks efficiently. We validated the GP-GPU program with the original CPU program, and the WRF model using GP-GPUs shows efficient speedup.
