Erik,
  thanks. Do you have any instructions (or simfactory files) to share if I
wanted to try compiling and running it on GPUs?
I have access to a GPU cluster at CINECA in Italy and I may try running
there (each node has 4 x NVIDIA Volta V100 GPUs). The theory group here in
Bicocca is also going to buy a server with 4 x NVIDIA A100 GPUs for testing
purposes.

I do not have experience with GPUs, but I'm happy to help if needed.

Cheers,
Bruno
