HiPIMS standards for **Hi**gh-**P**erformance **I**ntegrated hydrodynamic **M**odelling **S**ystem. It uses state-of-art numerical schemes (Godunov-type finite volume) to solve the 2D shallow water equations for flood simulations. To support high-resolution flood simulations, HiPIMS is implemented on multiple GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) using CUDA/C++ languages to achieve high-performance computing. Since HiPIMS has a modular and flexible structure, it has great potential to be further developed for other applications in hydrological science as long as the problem can be solved on a uniform rectangular grid.
