Benchmarking CPU, GPU, and ML Power-Flow Solvers from 14 to 70,000 Buses
Compares 9 physics solvers and 3 ML shortcuts on 15 grids; well-parallelised CPU or GPU solvers match ML for speed and are far more accurate.

The story in three lines
- Key finding
- On 15 grids up to 70,000 buses, well-parallelised CPU or GPU solvers matched ML surrogates for speed and were far more accurate.
- Significance
- Technical: claims that ML speeds up grid power-flow depend heavily on which baseline is chosen.
- Takeaway
- Grid operators should benchmark against strong classical solvers before adopting ML shortcuts.
