## 1. local cluster ##
The parallel processing on a single machine is supported via [`Dask.distributed.LocalCluster`](https://docs.dask.org/en/latest/setup/single-distributed.html#localcluster). This is recommended if you are running MintPy on a local machine with multiple available cores, or on an HPC but wish to allocate only a single node's worth of resources.

+# Configure GPU acceleration for the network inversion #
+
+The `invert_network` step (in `ifgram_inversion.py`) ships an opt-in GPU solver that batches the per-pixel weighted least-squares inversion as normal-equations + Cholesky on a CUDA device via PyTorch. This is a partial GPU implementation: only `invert_network` is offloaded to the GPU; every other step in `smallbaselineApp.py` continues to run on the CPU. The solver is opt-in — the default `mintpy.networkInversion.solver = auto` resolves to `cpu`, so existing setups are unaffected.
+
+The `torch` solver is orthogonal to Dask parallel processing (see [dask.md](./dask.md)): the former replaces the per-pixel CPU loop with a single batched Cholesky on one CUDA device, the latter distributes that same per-pixel loop across multiple worker processes. The two paths are not currently combined; pick one.
+
+## 1. Setup ##
+
+See [installation.md](./installation.md) section 2.4 for installing the `[gpu]` extras with the matching CUDA wheel index. Selecting `solver = torch` on a host without a visible CUDA device is a hard error (no silent CPU fallback).
+
+## 2. Enable ##
+
+#### 2.1 via command line ####
+
+Run the following in the terminal:
+
+```bash
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 --solver torch
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 --solver torch --gpu-chunk-size 20000
+```
+
+`--gpu-chunk-size 0` (the default) auto-sizes the per-chunk pixel count from free VRAM; pass a positive integer to override.
+
+#### 2.2 via template file ####
+
+Adjust options in the template file:
+
+```cfg
+mintpy.networkInversion.solver = torch #[cpu / torch], auto for cpu
+mintpy.networkInversion.gpuChunkSize = auto #[int >= 0], auto for 0 (auto-size from free VRAM)
+```
+
+and feed the template file to the script:
+
+```bash
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 -t smallbaselineApp.cfg
+smallbaselineApp.py smallbaselineApp.cfg
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Testing using example data ####
+
+Download and run the FernandinaSenDT128 example data; then run with and without the GPU solver:
+
+```bash
+cd FernandinaSenDT128/mintpy
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 -w no --solver cpu
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 -w no --solver torch
+```
+
+The two outputs should agree to float32 round-off (RMS on the order of 1e-5).
+
+## 3. Behavior notes ##
+
++ **VRAM auto-sizing.** `gpuChunkSize = 0` (auto) probes free VRAM at runtime and chooses a per-chunk pixel count with a fixed headroom factor. Set an explicit integer to override (e.g. for reproducible chunking across hosts with different VRAM).
+
++ **Rank-deficient pixels.** Detected via `torch.linalg.cholesky_ex` info codes; their solution is set to zero so NaN/Inf never propagate downstream. A warning line reports the count per chunk.
+
++ **Per-pixel NaN observations.** Handled by zeroing the corresponding row weight, which is mathematically equivalent to dropping that row from the WLS system.
+
++ **No silent CPU fallback.** Selecting `solver = torch` on a host without a visible CUDA device raises immediately rather than silently falling back to CPU; this keeps performance regressions visible.
+
+## 4. Performance ##
+
+Indicative numbers below were measured on an NVIDIA RTX 5080 (Blackwell sm_120, CUDA 12.8, PyTorch 2.11) at the time this feature was submitted. Speedup depends on scene size, GPU class, and chunk-size tuning, so reproduce on your own data and hardware before drawing conclusions.
+
++ **Tutorial-scale** (FernandinaSenDT128: 270k pixels, 288 ifgs) — `invert_network` runs roughly **16×** faster internally and **4.5×** faster end-to-end versus the CPU path.
++ **Large-scene** (GalapagosSenDT128: 3.4M pixels, 475 ifgs; ~12.6× pixels and 1.65× ifgs over Fernandina) — roughly **44×** internal and **36×** step-wall speedup on `invert_network` (CPU 6189 s → torch 170 s on the same machine), confirming the speedup grows at scale.
++ **Numerical equivalence** between the `cpu` and `torch` solvers holds to float32 round-off: RMS on the order of `1e-5` on the tutorial case, with absolute RMS at most ~16 µm on the large-scene case.

+
+a. Prerequisites
+
+
+- An NVIDIA GPU with a working CUDA driver
+- MintPy installed from source in editable mode (Section 2 above)
+
+
+b. Install the [gpu] extras
+
+The [gpu] extras pull a CUDA-enabled PyTorch build. Pick the cuXXX wheel index that matches your CUDA toolkit version (see pytorch.org for the current list); for example, cu121, cu124, or cu128:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install -e ".[gpu]" \
+ --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
+```
+
+If you use uv instead of pip, add --index-strategy unsafe-best-match to work around a stale setuptools pin in the PyTorch wheel index:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install -e ".[gpu]" \
+ --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128 \
+ --index-strategy unsafe-best-match
+```
+
+c. Verify
+
+```bash
+python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"
+# expected: True
+```
+
+d. Enable
+
+Set the template flag:
+
+```cfg
+mintpy.networkInversion.solver = torch
+```
+
+or pass it on the command line:
+
+```bash
+ifgram_inversion.py inputs/ifgramStack.h5 --solver torch
+```
+
+See gpu.md for tuning, behavior notes, and benchmarks.
