We present a fully multi-GPU-based double-precision solver for the three-dimensional two-phase incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. An in-depth performance analysis shows a realistic speed-up of the order of three by comparing equally priced GPUs and CPUs and more than a doubling in energy efficiency for GPUs. We observe profound strong and weak scaling on a multi-GPU cluster.
