Abstract: For lattice Monte Carlo simulations parallelization is crucial to make studies of large systems and long simulation time feasible, while sequential simulations remain the gold-standard for correlation-free dynamics. Here, various domain decomposition schemes are compared, concluding with one which delivers virtually correlation-free simulations on GPU Extensive simulations of the octahedron model for $2+1$ dimensional Karda--Parisi--Zhang surface growth, which is very sensitive to correlation in the site-selection dynamics, were performed to show self-consistency of the parallel runs and agreement with the sequential algorithm. We present a GPU implementation providing a speedup of about $30imes$ over a parallel CPU implementation on a single socket and at least $180imes$ with respect to the sequential reference.
