As GPUs become increasingly central to simulation workflows, the forum has seen discussions comparing CPU and GPU performance. A thread from January 2026 examined potential meshing differences between GPU and CPU simulations. While the grating coupler example showed identical grid points across both, users reported inconsistent behaviors that seemed to depend on machine history and Python-generated project file states. : Many highly upvoted forum solutions are eventually
