• use cupy-xarray instead of xarray
• use cupy instead of numpy. In particular convolving the slope could be done on GPU, see https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/lesson-gpu-programming/cupy.html
• for Millan velocity and ith fields I may use oggm
• smoothing the elevation can be probably be done using albumentation on gpu
