Short summary
Global floods pose serious risks, but existing models are too slow for large-scale prediction. We redesigned the Catchment-based Macro-scale Floodplain (CaMa-Flood) model for graphics processing units (GPUs), reformulating irregular river networks, flux updates, and floodplain dynamics into highly parallel algorithms. CaMa-Flood-GPU runs global simulations in hours instead of days with the same accuracy, enabling larger ensembles, better flood-risk analysis, and improved preparedness worldwide.
