Dear All

Is there any difference between running the FreeFem++ file in the CPU system and the GPU system?

If I would like to run the file on a GPU, will I need any additional software, add-ons, or instructions in the code?  
I am requesting this to use in WINDOWS OS.  
Kindly help me in this regard.

You need to configure PETSc with CUDA or HIP support (but I think only CUDA works on Windows).
