Short summary
Central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) are different devices that suit different kinds of work. Using a climate modeling component, we provide a clearer way to tell which device type is faster for a given task. This matters because runs usually use only one device type. Our results are actionable: they guide device choice, report performance gains fairly, highlight code areas to improve, and show how code structure and optimization can change conclusions.
