Burn probability maps (BPMs) are among the most effective tools to support strategic wildfire and fuels management. In such maps, an estimate of the probability to be burned by a wildfire is assigned to each point of a raster landscape. A typical approach to build BPMs is based on the explicit propagation of thousands of fires using accurate simulation models. However, given the high number of required simulations, for a large area such a processing usually requires high performance computing. In this paper, we propose a multi-GPU approach for accelerating the process of BPM building. The paper illustrates some alternative implementation strategies and discusses the achieved speedups on a real landscape.
