1. A method for reservoir simulation, which comprises:
distributing new fluid pressures and compositions determined for the reservoir to one or more GPUs wherein the new fluid pressures and compositions are distributed to each GPU with grid cells that are nearest multi-phase grid cells or source and sink terms; performing a multi-phase flash calculation on each GPU that was distributed new fluid pressures and compositions with an unstable phase; and performing a reservoir simulation using a result for each multi-phase flash calculation.
