We consider the depth-integrated non-hydrostatic system derived by Yamazaki et al. An efficient formally second-order well-balanced hybrid finite volume/difference numerical scheme is proposed. The scheme consists in a two-step algorithm. First, the hyperbolic part of the system is discretized using a PVM path-conservative finite-volume method. Second, the dispersive terms are solved by means of compact finite differences. A new methodology is also presented to handle wave breaking over complex bathymetries. This adapts well to GPU-architectures and guidelines about its GPU implementation are introduced. The method has been applied to idealized and challenging experimental test cases, which shows the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
